Youngest Winners on PGA Tour

PGA Tour Records: Youngest To Win

By , About.com Guide

Only one golfer in PGA Tour history has won while in his teens. Several others have won before turning 21.

Youngest PGA Tour Winners

  • Johnny McDermott - 19 years, 10 months, 1911 U.S. Open
  • Gene Sarazen - 20 years, 5 days, 1922 Southern Open
  • Chick Evans - 20 years, 1 month, 15 days, 1910 Western Open
  • Francis Ouimet - 20 years, 4 months, 12 days, 1913 U.S. Open
  • Gene Sarazen 20 years, 4 months, 18 days, 1922 U.S. Open
Several things jump out on this list: Sarazen is on it twice; Chick Evans and Francis Ouimet were amateurs; three of the five listed winners got that win at the U.S. Open; and all of these wins happened in 1922 or earlier.
