Pro Golfers from Indiana

Current Pro Men’s Golfers from Indiana (PGA 2023)

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 5/19/23).

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

We found 3 players from the state of Indiana. That’s tied with four other states for 7th most of any US State (tied with Georgia, New York, Tennessee and Washington).

Three may not seem like a lot but it’s pretty impressive when you think of it in terms of 1.5% of the top golfers in the WORLD coming from the state of Indiana.
