Drew Weaver (born May 17, 1987) is an American professional golfer.
Weaver was born in High Point, North Carolina. He grew up playing at nearby Willow Creek Country Club.
He won the 2007 Amateur Championship with a 2 & 1 victory over Australian Tim Stewart.
Weaver played college golf at Virginia Tech. He began competing in professional tournaments shortly after graduating in 2009. He made his first cut in a major at the 2009 U.S. Open where he finished tied for 40th. He played on the 2009 Walker Cup team.[1]
Weaver turned professional in 2009.[2]
Since 2010, Weaver has played mostly on the eGolf Professional Tour and had a successful first year. Off-the-course matters diverted his focus for the first part of the year, as Weaver's mother was battling breast cancer. She regained her health and Drew regained his form. He finished outside of the top-8 only once on Tour after May 2010. He also played two events on the PGA Tour in 2010: the Greenbrier Classic and the Wyndham Championship, where he tied for 41st. In 2011, he played in The Memorial Tournament, finishing T45. It was his third cut in ten career PGA Tour events.
In 2012, Weaver started his eGolf Tour season with two missed cuts. He won two events in the first half of the season and was the tour's money leader. He also became the quickest to earn $100,000 in a season.
