Daniel Summerhays (born December 2, 1983) is an American professional golfer.

Summerhays attended Brigham Young University for three years where he was a first-team All-American as a Junior. He won the Utah State Amateur Championship in 2000 and 2001 while he was still in high school. He became the first amateur to win a Nationwide Tour event on July 15, 2007. After winning the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational he immediately turned professional and joined the Nationwide Tour^[1]. He decided to forgo his senior year at BYU to turn pro. He has exempt status on the tour until the end of 2008 due to his victory. His brother Boyd Summerhays currently plays on the Nationwide Tour. He is the nephew of Champions Tour player Bruce Summerhays and cousin of former LPGA Tour golfer Carrie Roberts.

Summerhays would have made $108,000 by winning the Nationwide Children's Hospital Invitational but he did not get any prize money because he was an amateur when he entered the tournament. Summerhays finished tied for 37th in his first event as a professional at the Cox Classic. He won $3,120.00.
