Danny Walker is a 29-year-old professional golfer from Bradenton, Florida, currently competing on the PGA Tour. Born on October 4, 1995, he attended the University of Virginia before turning professional in 2018.
In early 2022, facing financial challenges, Walker briefly worked as a waiter at Bahama Breeze but soon returned to pursuing his golf career. He earned his PGA Tour card in 2024 after finishing 28th on the Korn Ferry Tour Points List.
At the 2025 Players Championship, Walker was initially an alternate but secured a spot following Jason Day’s withdrawal. He finished tied for sixth, earning $925,000. Notably, during the Farmers Insurance Open in January 2025, Walker achieved the rare feat of hitting all 18 greens in regulation at Torrey Pines’ South Course.
Walker cites Tiger Woods as his idol, recalling his best memory as watching Woods win the 2012 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. His journey from financial struggles to PGA Tour success exemplifies resilience and dedication.
