I see Sam is playing in the memorial this weekend. Is this his first tournament as a pro?

I thought he was going to remain an Am for a few more months but PGA app doesn't say he's an Am

His collegiate career is over… no need to stay an amateur

If he wants to get a start at the British open he will remain an Am

If he wants to get paid between now and then for on course performance he will turn pro

He already said he is turning pro. He is competing in the Memorial, US Open, Travelers and John Deere for sure. Probably KFT tourneys in between if he doesn't get any more exemptions. I think he wants to start earning money and his tour card.

EDIT:Also said he will be in RBC Canadian next week

My understanding was that the amateur US and British open spots would still be honored even if he turned pro.

Only US Open

I think only the US Open

If I remember right he must remain Am for British

Only the US Open.

Top player in the PGA Tour University (Tech's Ludvig Aberg) gets status on the PGA tour. Next 4 (Bennett is 5) get Korn Ferry status.

Bennet needs to "make hay while the sun shines" and take advantage of the PGA exemptions in front of him this year to try and get status on the PGA tour. Staying an amateur through the Open would hinder that.

Big time tournament for his first pro event. Hope he plays well.

At 7,600+ yards Bennett will need to hit fairways and his ball striking will need to be in good form

Haven't seen him play but apparently Ludvig from tech is the real deal. Rooting for Sam to make the cut this week!

If he did that would be hilarious. When Costco comes out with their irons they should sponsor a golfer in head to toe KSigs.

It's interesting to me that the guy who won the NCAA individual title is second.
