Current Pro Men’s Golfers from Alabama (PGA)

Golfers, and athletes of all sports really, take pride in where they’re from. Whether it’s the state, city or area code – you always notice players wanting to rep their home area.

The whole Ryder Cup is basically built on the principle of competing and representing where you’re from.

Fans tend to do the same thing. It’s always more fun to pull for a player when they’re from your home state (or even your hometown).

With all that in mind, we went through the World Golf Rankings and pulled the home states (or countries) of every player in the top 200 (as of 5/26/23).

28 of the 50 states in the US have at least one player representing them in that top 200.

We found 4 players from the state of Alabama. That’s 6th most of any US State. Even more impressive if you think of it in terms of:

2% of the top golfers in the WORLD come from the state of Alabama. Pretty impressive.
