PBA Career
Doug Kent joined the PBA in 1988. His career started slowly, as he won only the 1991 ABC Masters title in his first seven seasons until breaking through again with a victory in the 1996 Greater Detroit Open.
2006-07 was a career year for Kent, winning two titles -- both majors (2006 USBC Masters and 2007 Denny's PBA World Championship). In addition to Tour winnings of $200,530 that season, Kent won $150,000 in the season-ending Motel 6 Roll to Riches, a special event that does not count toward official PBA earnings. In addition to the Masters title and his two majors in 2006-07, Kent won the 2002 PBA World Championship to give him four majors among his 10 total PBA titles. His career PBA earnings total over $1.5 million (through 2012). He has rolled 31 career perfect 300 games in PBA competition through the end of the 2008-09 season.
Kent was ranked #43 on the PBA's 2008 list of "50 Greatest Players of the Last 50 Years." He was voted into the PBA Hall of Fame in January, 2013, and will be officially inducted on March 30, 2013 (along with Danny Wiseman).
