“PRO”FILE – TOURING PROFESSIONAL – CAMERON YOUNG

When he first started making waves on the PGA Tour, most assumed it would be in quick order that Cameron Young would take his place among the game’s elite. He had five runner-up finishes his rookie year on tour in 2022, and 2023 looked to be his year. Unfortunately for him, his game took a brief detour south and it wasn’t until 2025 that he finally won.

Realizing the promise he has always showed, Young overtook Matthew Fitzpatrick to win the 2026 Players tournament. His spectacular shot on the par-3 17th hole set up a birdie to tie, and when Fitzpatrick found trouble on the home hole to make bogey, Young secured the victory.

Whether Young will continue his run of great play is yet to be determined, but from all indications, as he is now ranked #3 in the world, he has definitely arrived and has reached the potential that he always had.
