Andrew Putnam

Andrew David Putnam was born on January 25, 1989, in Tacoma, Washington. He graduated from Life Christian Academy in 2007. Putnam then attended Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, from 2007 to 2011, where he excelled in collegiate golf. During his time at Pepperdine, he secured two tournament victories and was recognized as an All-American three times. This period laid the foundation for his professional aspirations.

Putnam turned professional in 2011, initially competing on the eGolf Professional Tour in 2012. His career advanced to the Web.com Tour in 2013, where he finished 49th on the money list. The following year, 2014, marked his first professional win at the WNB Golf Classic on the Web.com Tour. That same year, he earned his PGA Tour card through the Web.com Tour Finals, making his PGA Tour debut at the Shell Houston Open. After losing his tour card in the 2014-15 season and returning to the Web.com Tour, he steadily worked his way back, winning the Panama Claro Championship in February 2017 and subsequently regaining his PGA Tour card for the 2017-18 season.

A significant milestone in Putnam’s career came in August 2018 when he achieved his first PGA Tour victory at the Barracuda Championship, an alternate event held near Reno, Nevada. This win contributed to a strong 2017-18 season, where he recorded five Top 10 finishes and earned a substantial amount. His performance that year led to a 35th place finish in the season-long FedEx Cup standings. He continued to demonstrate consistent play, achieving a tie for 4th place at the WGC-HSBC Champions tournament in China on October 28, 2018. His highest Official World Golf Ranking reached 43 in August 2019, reflecting his continued presence at a competitive level.
