Cameron Young is a huge leader heading into the final round of the 2025 Wyndham Championship, the PGA Tour's final event of the regular season in the Greensboro, North Carolina, area. After having so many close calls on Tour, Cameron Young could have a huge breakthrough.
Young is 28 years old, and he is in the field at the 2025 Wyndham Championship as a top-50 finisher in the prior season's FedEx Cup standings.
For Young, his journey to the PGA Tour is a remarkable story.
Young was born in Scarborough, N.Y. He played college golf at Wake Forest University and has a family involved in the golf industry, with his dad working at Sleepy Hollow, a great private club.
Young is hitting his prime
Cameron Young has won at every level, including as an amateur and after he turned pro in 2019.
Young has yet to win on the PGA Tour, but he was on the medal stand in two majors in 2022 and is the 2022 Rookie of the Year award winner.
Entering this week, Young was ranked 40th in FedEx Cup points and ranked 44th in the Official World Golf Ranking.
In his personal life, Young is married to his wife Kelsey Dalition.
What a win at the Wyndham Championship means
With a win today, Young would earn the benefits of being a PGA Tour winner, including a two-year PGA Tour exemption. As a top-50 player in the world, he would be scheduled to get into three of the four majors automatically next year. And, according to the 2025 Wyndham Championship payout, he would win $1.476 million to top it all off.
