Who Is the Youngest Player to Make Cut on the PGA Tour?

Golf is a game where there is no age restriction. There are players in the professional league who play right from the teens. And there have been plenty of instances where the younger players have performed well on the PGA Tour. 

Meanwhile, even Tiger Woods had made his debut at the age of 19 as an amateur and caught the attention of the entire world. However, some players have played on Tour at a younger age than Tiger. But who is the youngest player to make the cut on the PGA Tour? Let’s find out. 

Who is the youngest player on the PGA Tour to make the cut?

Interestingly, the youngest player on the PGA Tour to make the cut is Guan Tianlang. He created history by making the cut at the 2013 Masters at the age of 14. Guan Tianlang was 14 years, 5 months, and 18 days when he achieved this feat in 2013 as an amateur. He set the record as the youngest player to make the cut at a modern era PGA Tour event.

The Chinese golfer finished the 36-holes at Augusta National with a score of 4 over. He carded 3-over 75 in the second round and was in danger of missing the cut. But thankfully, Jason Day finished his final two holes with a par to move the cut line to 5 over. Hence, this made sure that the 14-year-old Chinese amateur golfer goes into the weekend.  

Moreover, this also made sure that the defending Masters champion, Bubba Watson, also goes through to the weekend. Meanwhile, Guan was the only amateur to advance to the weekend in 2013 Masters and received the silver cup. 

Furthermore, Guan Tianlang is also the youngest player to make the cut on the PGA Tour in a non-major event. He made the cut at the 2013 Zurich Classic of New Orleans a month after the 2013 Masters. Meanwhile, other prominent names in the top 5 list are Bob Panasik, Justin Thomas, and Matteo Manassero.
