After turning pro in 2018 at the age of 21, Will has gained attention as an impressive up and comer in the professional golf world. Will earned his first professional win at the 2020 TPC Colorado Championship on the Korn Ferry Tour, which helped him qualify for the 2020 U.S. Open where he went on to tie for sixth place with the world’s current top-ranked golfer. Most notably, he finished runner-up in this year’s Masters Tournament, trailing a first-place finish by only one stroke, with a score of 9-under-par.
Most recently, in just his third major championship appearance, Will earned an eighth-place result at the 2021 PGA Championship. He has been credited as having poise and focus beyond his years as his success contributes to ever-increasing expectations.
