Patrick Rodgers (born June 30, 1992) is an American professional golfer.
Rodgers was born in Avon, Indiana. He played college golf at Stanford University, for three years, where he won 11 times, tying the record set by Tiger Woods.[1] Rodgers was given the Ben Hogan Award and was the number one ranked golfer in the World Amateur Golf Ranking for 16 weeks in early 2014.[2]
After turning professional in June 2014, Rodgers played on the PGA Tour via sponsor's exemptions. He earned enough non-member FedEx Cup points to qualify for the Web.com Tour Finals.[3] He finished T-8 at the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship. Overall, he finished 58th in the Finals, earning enough to get his 2015 Web.com Tour card. He won the second event of the season at the Pacific Rubiales Colombia Championship.[4] In May he finished T-2 at the Wells Fargo Championship on the PGA Tour[5] playing on a sponsor's exemption.
Rodgers earned "Special Temporary Member" status on the PGA Tour for 2015 after his finish at the Memorial Tournament. Rodgers finished 24th on the 2015 Web.com Tour money list, earning a PGA Tour card for the 2015–16 season. Even with the finish, he was not allowed to compete in the Web.com Tour Finals since he also accumulated enough FedEx Cup points to place inside the Top 125. He also could not compete in the FedEx Cup because he was not officially a PGA Tour member during the 2014-15 season.
