Early life and amateur career
McCallister was born in Fort Stockton, Texas. McCallister is naturally left-handed but plays the game mix-handed; he writes left-handed, strikes the ball right-handed and putts left-handed.
McCallister attended the University of Houston and was a member of the golf team. His college roommates were future fellow professional golfer Fred Couples and future CBS Sports golf host Jim Nantz.
Professional career
In 1981, McCallister turned pro. He joined the PGA Tour the following year. He had a total of five wins on the PGA Tour, all of which came in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

After turning 50 in October 2008, McCallister began playing on the Champions Tour.
