Patrick Flavin

PGA Professional Golfer

Patrick grew up in Highwood, IL and graduated from Highland Park High School. Played collegiately at Miami University (Ohio) where I had success including setting the record for most wins (8) and lowest career scoring average in school history. I was fortunate to be selected as the Miami University Male Athlete of the Year my Sophomore and Senior seasons (2016, 2018). I was an Academic All-American my Junior and Senior years (2017, 2018).

During my college career I was the second player ever to win both the Illinois State Amateur and Illinois Open in the same year (2017). Before turning professional I earned Western Amateur sweet 16 honors at Sunset Ridge Country Club.

I began my professional career on PGA Tour Latinoamerica where I earned my first PGA Tour sanctioned win at the BUPA Match Play in Cancun. I finished 6th on the order of Merit earning me Korn Ferry Status in 2020, 2021. My best Korn Ferry Tour finish to date was at the Evans Scholars Invitational in Northbrook, IL finishing 5th followed by a 10th place finish in Wichita the following week.

I began 2022 with no status on the PGA Tour. I decided to attempt to Monday qualify for PGA Tour events to try to earn my status that way. I successfully made it through 5 Monday qualifiers and went on to have 4 top 25 finishes. My best finish of the season was a 10th place finish at the John Deere Classic. I competed in 9 PGA Tour events in total in 2022 and finished 153 on the Fedex Cup list which narrowly missed out on PGA Tour Status.

In 2023, I had full status on the Korn Ferry Tour and competed in 24 events. I had four top 25 finishes during the season. I also served on the Korn Ferry Tour Player Advisory Council.
