The rise from Sleepy Hollow Country Club kid to world No. 4 has been methodical, patient, and built entirely on ball-striking that very few on tour can match. With $38 million in career earnings at just 28, the numbers are finally matching the talent.

Cameron Young’s professional career
David Young, Cameron Young’s father, was the head professional at Sleepy Hollow Country Club in Westchester County, NY. Cameron’s aunt was a golf teacher. He went to Fordham Preparatory School in the Bronx, and when he was 15, he shot a 2-under 70 to win the New York State Championship for the Catholic High School Athletic Association.
Young went to Wake Forest University to study economics. He won five tournaments and three All-ACC awards, making him one of the best players in the program’s history. He won the U.S. Collegiate Championship and the Warrior Princeville Makai Invitational as a freshman. He had three wins in one season by the time he was a senior.
Young became a pro in 2019, won twice on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2021, and was named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year for the 2021–22 season thanks to five second-place finishes, including one at the 2022 Open Championship.
He shot a 59 in the third round of the 2024 Travelers Championship, which was only the 13th round in PGA Tour history to be less than 60. He won his first PGA Tour event at the Wyndham Championship in 2025.
He then tied Fitzpatrick by birdieing the par-3 17th hole at the 2026 Players Championship. He then hit a 375-yard drive on the 18th hole and two-putted for the win after Fitzpatrick bogeyed, which moved him up to a career-high No. 4 in the world.
