He is a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame and Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. Strange spent over 200 weeks in the top-10 of the Official World Golf Rankings between their debut in 1986 and 1990.

Strange is a graduate of Princess Anne High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia. He attended Wake Forest University and was a member of the NCAA Championship team with Jay Haas and Bob Byman who Golf World has labeled "the greatest of all time".

Strange is considered one of the leading golfers of the 1980s as 16 of his 17 PGA Tour victories took place in that decade. He topped the PGA Tour money list in 1985 and 1987 and in 1988, when he became the first man to win a million dollars in official money on the Tour in a season. His two majors were the 1988 and 1989 U.S. Opens.

At this point it seemed that Curtis Strange was on the verge of building a truly great career, but oddly he never won on the PGA Tour again after his 2nd U.S. Open victory. He played on five Ryder Cup teams (1983, 1985, 1987, 1989, and 1995) and captained the team in 2002. After reaching the age of 50 in January 2005, Strange began play on the Champions Tour, remarking, "I was getting worse and said, 'To hell with it.'" His best finishes thus far are a 3rd place finish in the 2005 Constellation Energy Classic and a T-5 in the 2005 FedEx Kinko's Classic. On April 18, 2007, Strange was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame, and was inducted on November 12, 2007 at the World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Florida.
