Collin Morikawa, who has Japanese heritage, secured his 6th PGA Tour victory at the ZOZO Championship in Japan, ending a winless streak dating back to 2021. Despite high expectations following his second Major win at the age of 24, he faced challenges in 2022 and most of 2023. This recent victory comes as a much-needed boost for the 26-year-old golfer.

YES SIR SARGENT!

Vanderbilt’s Gordon Sargent became the first college player to earn a PGA Tour card through the tour’s new University Accelerated Program. Sargent collected the 20 points needed in just two years of college golf.

Therefore, following the conclusion of stroke play at the 2024 NCAA D-1 National Championship (May 24-27, 2024), Sargent will become eligible to accept PGA Tour membership upon turning professional.
