Cameron Young's parents

Cameron Young was born to David and Barbara Young in Scarborough, New York, according to the PGA of America.

Who is Cameron Young's father?

Cameron Young’s father, David Young, works as the head golf pro at Sleepy Hollow Country Club in Scarborough, New York. He was also Cameron's first golf coach. Talking about his coach-father role, David said to the PGA of America:

“If he plays well, there is not much to talk about. If he plays okay, we may chat about a few things. If he does not play how he wants to, that’s when I just let him vent for a while."

Though David is used to watching his son play on television, in 2022, when the PGA Championship took place at Sleepy Hollow, he got to see his son on the greens. Talking about this, he said to the PGA of America:

"Now, I’ll be able to watch in person and see everything that’s going on. I get to see his swing and his game, not just the result.”

Cameron eventually finished tied for third place in the event. On being asked, "How proud is he feeling?" David said:

“You know, that’s what everyone is asking me, how proud I am. I really don’t know how to answer that. I’m not a man with the right words, I guess. I’m not a writer. I’m much more of a numbers guy, a math guy. So maybe 12 out of 10?”

Who is Cameron Young's mother?

Barbara Young, Cameron's mother, used to caddie for her son when he participated in the Met Area events, according to the New York Post. Speaking about his wife, David discussed the status of their son's golf career with the PGA of America, saying, "She has a better view of the big picture, which is bright; I tend to live a little more shot by shot. I’m learning."
