Current Pro Men’s Golfers from Scotland (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).

There are 28 countries (29 including the US) with at least one player representing them in the top 200.

Scotland is one of those countries. Scotland has 3 players in the top 200 which may not seem like many, but it is tied with China for the 11th most of any country (outside the US).
