He won the U.S. Amateur in 1896[1] and 1897.[2] Following his first win in the U.S. Amateur, he wrote a golf instruction book.

His sisters Molly and Sybil Whigham also played golf well.[4] He went to America in 1893 for the Chicago World's Fair to demonstrate golf. This was arranged by Charles B. Macdonald, who was acquainted with Whigham's father, David Dundas, while they were students at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. Whigham would go on to become Macdonald's son-in-law, marrying his daughter Frances. They had a daughter, Sybil. Whigham learned the game of golf studying under Willie Campbell and Joe Lloyd.[5] CareerWhigham returned to Chicago as an instructor at Lake Forest College in English and also as a lecturer at other universities in the midwest.
