Fresh off a Four-Ball win, the U.S. Junior standout shines in PGA TOUR debut
Tyler Mawhinney’s ascent through the amateur golf ranks added another milestone this week, as the 17-year-old made the cut at the 2025 RBC Canadian Open in his PGA TOUR debut.
Mawhinney opened with rounds of 68 and 69 at TPC Toronto and heads into the weekend at T53. He ranks fourth in the field in driving distance through two rounds.
“Yeah, I mean it feels pretty good,” Mawhinney said after Friday’s second round. “Little nervous after the first couple holes yesterday but settled in nicely.”
The teenager from Fleming Island, Florida, earned his spot in the field by winning the 2024 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship, a performance that included a clutch final round and a head-to-head battle with defending champion Ashton McCulloch. McCulloch, a former Michigan State standout, missed the cut at this year’s Canadian Open.
Currently ranked No. 16 in the Rolex AJGA Rankings, Mawhinney is also a member of the U.S. National Junior Team, with USNDP team coach Chris Zambri on the bag this week. His recent stretch includes a run to the Round of 16 at the 2024 U.S. Amateur and a victory at the 2025 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship, where he teamed up with fellow junior standout and Vanderbilt commit Will Hartman.
Reflecting on the momentum he's built over the past year, Mawhinney said: “I’ve been playing pretty well lately, and it was nice to get it done at the Four-Ball, and nice to make the cut here. Hopefully we can continue that into the summer.”
From national team success to top amateur titles, Mawhinney continues to show up. While his week in Canada isn’t over yet, his performance so far is a sign that his game is built for the next stage, and that the next wave of young talent is more than ready to compete.
First played in 1904, this is the third oldest continuously running tournament on the PGA TOUR, after The Open Championship and the U.S. Open. Lee Trevino (1971) and Tiger Woods (2000) are the only golfers to win the Triple Crown, winning the U.S. Op...
