Hubert Myatt Green (born December 28, 1946) is an American professional golfer who has won numerous professional golf tournaments at both the PGA Tour and Champions Tour level.

Green was born in Birmingham, Alabama. He graduated from Florida State University in 1968 and turned pro in 1969. Green is among the top 33 all-time PGA Tour Winners with 19 victories during his 26 years on the PGA Tour. He won two major championships: the 1977 U.S. Open which was held at Southern Hills Country Club in Tulsa, Oklahoma and the 1985 PGA Championship which was held at the Cherry Hills Country Club in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado. He played on three Ryder Cup teams: 1977, 1979, and 1985.

In his second season on the Senior PGA Tour in 1998, Green won the Bruno's Memorial Classic in his hometown of Birmingham, Alabama. He currently has four career victories on the Champions Tour, which was known as the Senior PGA Tour until 2002.

Green is active in golf course design having designed the TPC at Southwind, the site for the PGA Tour's St. Jude Classic. He also designed Greystone, the site of his victory in the Bruno's Classic and Reynolds Plantation in Georgia.

In the spring of 2003, Green was diagnosed with throat cancer after his dentist noticed an unusual swelling on the back of his tongue after a routine cleaning and referred him to a medical specialist for evaluation. Green underwent a very difficult and painful regimen of radiation and chemotherapy treatments during the summer of 2003. By the end of 2003, however, his cancer was in remission; his weight crept up to 165 pounds from a low of 143 pounds. [1]
