List Of Golfers With Pga Tour Wins As An Amateur
This is a list of golfers who won a PGA Tour tournament as amateur golfers since 1945.
No golfer was able to achieve the feat during the 1960s or 1970s, after which one golfer won as an amateur in 1985, followed by another golfer in 1991. Nick Dunlap is the latest golfer to achieve the feat, doing so at the 2024 American Express.
Winning a PGA Tour tournament as an amateur is a feat that has been achieved by eight golfers in this timeframe, with the only golfer to win more than once as an amateur being Frank Stranahan, who did so four times. As the list shows, no tournament has been won by an amateur golfer more than once.
Under PGA Tour rules, if a golfer plays as an amateur, they may not collect their winnings – nor can they turn professional while they are playing in a tournament.
