Sandy Scott earns promotion to PGA Tour after Ohio victory

Scott battled back from that but withdrew from this season’s BMW Charity Pro-Am and missed two months of the season after the wrist flared up again.

“It was just getting progressively worse,” he told the Golf Channel. “Every day, it was harder to warm up and I was getting a bit more sharp pain.

“With having a history of having a wrist injury, I’ve kind of gone through the waves of being unsure about what golf’s going to look like for me in the future.

“When I did come back from it in college, I had this overwhelming sense of perspective that I’m just happy to be out here competing, fulfilling this dream that I’ve always had of playing golf professionally. To be able to play well has been a bonus.”

Scott started this week in 13th place on the tour, but he birdied two of his last three holes to close on six-under 65 on the Scarlet Course at Ohio State University Golf Club to card an 18-under 266 to break the 72-hole tournament record and edge out American John Marshall Butler.

He becomes the seventh – and first European – player to have qualified for the main tour during the 2027 season.

Scott had finished 55th in his rookie season on the tour last year but will next year return to a PGA Tour event for the first time since the 2020 US Open at Winged Foot Golf Club, where he qualified by finishing sixth in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

“It’s been a weird journey and I’m just so happy,” he added.
