Current Pro Men’s Golfers from Washington (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.

Washington has 3 players out of that top 200. That may not seem like a lot, but it’s actually very impressive that 1.5% of the top golfers in the WORLD come from the state of Texas.

It also places Washington tied for 7th with four other states (Georgia, Indiana, New York and Tennessee) for the most of any US state.
