American professional golfer Collin Morikawa is a member of both the European and PGA Tours. In May 2018, he held the number one position in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for three weeks.
Morikawa turned professional in 2019 and made an impressive debut at the RBC Canadian Open, securing a T14 finish. After a notable fourth-place finish at the 2019 John Deere Classic, he soon earned his PGA Tour card.
Morikawa's professional career took off with a stunning record of 22 consecutive cuts made on the PGA Tour, a feat surpassed only by Tiger Woods' 25 consecutive cuts.
Morikawa boasts six PGA Tour victories, including two major championships. He clinched his first major, the 2020 PGA Championship, and followed it with a victory at the 2021 Open Championship during his first appearances at these prestigious tournaments.
Despite a brief hiatus in 2020 due to COVID-19, Morikawa returned to the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he tied for the lead but ultimately lost in a playoff to Daniel Berger. He rebounded with another victory at the Workday Charity Open later that year.
A career-defining moment came in August 2020 when Morikawa secured his first PGA Championship, making him the fourth golfer to achieve this feat before the age of 24, at just 23 years old.
