Ryder Cup player (2021). Multiple wins on the PGA Tour.

Did you know?

Following just three months as a professional golfer, English embarked on his PGA Tour career in early 2012. His rookie season proved enormously successful, with 22 of 27 cuts made and three top ten finishes. He earned over $1.18 million that year, comfortably retaining his tour card.

English's first PGA Tour win came in the year after his rookie season, with a win at the FedEx St Jude Classic in Memphis. After this initial win in June 2013, he became a firmly established player on the PGA Tour. He was included in the USA Ryder Cup team for the first time as a captain's pick in 2021.
