A standout amateur with an unorthodox swing, Matthew Wolff won the 2019 NCAA Division I individual championship and then claimed a victory in only his third start after turning pro in 2019. He has spent more than 90 weeks as a top 50 player and recorded top-five finishes at two majors in 2020 - the PGA Championship and the U.S. Open, where he was runner-up to fellow LIV Golf League member, Bryson DeChambeau. Renowned as one of the game’s big hitters, Wolff ranked second in driving distance in LIV Golf’s 2022 season with a 323.5-yard average. He made LIV Golf history by hitting the first hole-in-one at the LIV Golf Invitational Boston in September 2022.
