Cam Young has finally achieved his dream by winning the 2025 Wyndham Championship, but the PGA Tour is trying to pull a fast one on golf fans by claiming he’s the 1,000th different winner. However, this narrative is simply untrue.
Young, 28, won in impressive fashion, leading the field in strokes gained: putting and having the largest winning margin in recent memory. This victory marks a significant milestone for the young golfer, who has been touted as one of the most promising players on the Tour.
However, Young’s rise to fame is not without controversy. The PGA Tour has claimed that he’s the 1,000th winner, but this claim ignores the fact that the Tour was founded in 1929 and officially broke away from the PGA of America in 1968. This move is seen as an attempt to boost Cam Young’s reputation and create a false narrative.
Meanwhile, Nelly Korda has fallen out of the top spot following her T-36 finish at the Women’s British Open, and Rory McIlroy will be skipping the FedEx St. Jude Championship due to the new playoff format.
