10 youngest winners in history includes Jordan Spieth, more

Joohyung “Tom” Kim entered some exclusive company among the history of professional golf on the PGA Tour.

By winning the 2022 Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, he became one of the youngest players to ever win on the PGA Tour.

The PGA Tour has been around for more than a century. Many of the youngest winners happened in the early years of the Tour, but in the past decades, three golfers, including Kim, have joined the exclusive youngest winner’s club, as well.

Here’s a look at the 10 youngest players who have been victorious on the PGA Tour:

Francis Ouimet

Age: 20 years, 4 months, 12 days
Tournament: 1913 U.S. Open
Buzz: Still an amateur, Ouimet earned what is considered by many to be the most important victory in the development of golf in the United States in the 1913 U.S. Open. The young Ouimet, who was both a former caddie and a “commoner,” stunned Harry Vardon and Ted Ray of Great Britain, along with the golf world, with a 5-shot victory at Brookline Country Club in an 18-hole playoff. Ouimet, inducted into World Golf Hall of Fame inaugural class in 1974, is one of only four golfers to have a stamp created in their honor.

Age: 20 years, 2 months, 23 days
Tournament: 2019 3M Open
About: In just his fourth start after turning pro, Wolff scored a thrilling victory at TPC Twin Cities thanks to a 26-foot eagle putt on the tournament’s final hole. He would defeat fellow 20-year-old Collin Morikawa and Bryson DeChambeau by one shot. DeChambeau had eagled 18 ahead of Wolff to take a one-shot lead. That lead would not last.
