Blades Brown Biography, Net Worth, Height & Career

Professional Golfer (PGA Tour)

Blades Brown turned professional in December 2024 at age 17, bypassing college golf after one of the most decorated recent American amateur careers. At the 2023 U.S. Amateur he shared stroke-play medalist honours, becoming the youngest medalist in the championship's history and surpassing a mark set by Bobby Jones in 1920. By earning medalist honours at both the U.S. Amateur and the U.S. Junior Amateur, he joined Bobby Clampett and Tiger Woods as only the third player to accomplish the feat. Named AJGA Rolex Junior Player of the Year, Brown made his PGA Tour debut as an amateur at the 2024 Oneflight Myrtle Beach Classic before turning professional. On the 2025 PGA Tour he shot a 60 at The American Express — playing the final group alongside world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler — and finished T-3 at the Puerto Rico Open. In November 2026, at 19 years, 5 months and 18 days old, Brown rallied from seven strokes back with a final-round 63 to win the World Wide Technology Championship in Los Cabos, Mexico, defeating Ben James in a sudden-death playoff for his first PGA Tour title. The victory made him the youngest PGA Tour winner of the modern era and the first teenager to win on Tour since Jordan Spieth in 2013.
