Dean Burmas store. Burmy or the mean Dean. You’re the mean Dean. Mean Dean. Everyone’s calling him the mean Dean. He’s from Zimbabwe. Where is Zimbabwe? Uh it’s just outside Indianapolis. Turned pro back in 2010. But where he really got his start was down there on the Sunshine Tour. It’s the top pro golf tour in Southern Africa. It was the proving ground for such players as Ernie El’s, Charles Schwarzel, Louisen. He actually had himself quite a few wins. He had 11 wins on the Sunshine Tour that eventually helped him make his way into the DP World Tour and then in 2023 got the call to join Liv and he said hell yes.
