Nick Dunlap Playing For A $20 Million Prize Pool In Pro Debut
9 months agoJust two weeks ago, Nick Dunlap was just another undergrad at the University of Alabama. An immaculate 2023 on the amateur circuit earned him status as one of the most promising prospects in the golfing world, but even his most ardent supporters couldn't have imagined his potential being fulfilled so soon. Dunlap turned a sponsor's invite at The American Express into a one-shot win, outdueling a duo with a combined 20 PGA Tour wins in the process, and earned his way into the collection of PGA Tour signature events. These 80-man, exclusive fields will be the ultimate proving ground for the 20-year-old, as he'll be able to test his abilities against the best fields the PGA Tour has to offer whilst being eligible for a share of an eye-popping eight-figure prize pool. Time will tell just how ready Dunlap is to compete against the world's best every week, but it's hard to imagine a better opportunity in the history of the sport for a 20-year-old recent college sophomore.
