Ken "The Champ" Climo, from Clearwater, Florida, is a professional disc golfer. Climo has claimed Twelve PDGA World Championship titles, including nine in as many years from 1990 to 1998. Climo's dominance in the world championships is unmatched; Harold Duvall, Nate Doss and Barry Schultz are the only other golfers with more than one open world title, and they only have 2 each. In addition to his world titles, Climo recently claimed his fifth United States Disc Golf Championship (the premier event in the game) title. Named seven times as the PDGA player of the year, Ken Climo was inducted into the PDGA Hall of Fame in 1995. In his career he has won over 200 tournaments and leads the lifetime PDGA money list. In his 20 years on the PDGA, Climo has notched 101 aces. It is almost universally agreed that he is the best disc golfer of all time.

Climo, with Innova Discs has created his own special blend of plastic, known as KC Pro. Several discs are for sale to the general public in KC Pro, including: the Aviar (putter), Roc (mid-range), Gazelle (fairway driver) and Whippet (fairway driver). More recently, Innova's star line of plastic added the 12-time Ken Climo Wraith driver to the plethora of KC discs.
