He has had over two dozen fines levied by the PGA Tour for his bad boy antics.
His best finish in a major was a seventh-place tie at the 1996 U.S. Open.
Some of his antics included sneaking friends into The Masters in the trunk of his car, drinking beer on the course while playing with Arnold Palmer at the 1997 Masters, and hitting golf balls through narrow openings in sliding-glass doors.
Other fines were for more mundane offenses like swearing on the course, criticizing officials, and signing autographs while playing.
His personal problems—divorces, gambling, clinical depression—led to near financial ruin, and affected his playing time and the quality of his play.
In his 40s, Green had difficulty maintaining his PGA Tour playing privileges and was forced to play some on the Nationwide Tour.
He has sometimes played tournament rounds dressed in green from head to toe, shoes included.
In 2003, Green was reported to have jumped into a canal in Palm Beach County, Florida to save his German Shepherd dog, Nip, from the jaws of an alligator.

In June 2009, Green was seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident when his motor home left the road.
Green was in his recreational vehicle traveling on Interstate 20 near Meridian, Mississippi, when the right front tire blew, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and go down a deep embankment before hitting a tree.

Even though his lower right leg was amputated as a result of injuries suffered in the accident, Green vowed to return to competitive golf.
Green's estranged son Hunter died of a drug overdose in Dallas, Texas on January 22, 2010.
In June 2019, Green released a self-published autobiography titled "Hunter of Hope: A Life Lived Inside, Outside and On the Ropes."
In it, he revisits his life as a teen in Guatemala, where, because of his alcoholic father's negligence, he was suffered years of sexual abuse by his father's friends.
The golf course was a refuge from this abuse.
He explains one reason for the book: "My plan has been simple: Use the adversity as my purpose and reason to live."
