American professional golfer Luke List was born on January 14, 1985, in Seattle, Washington. As an amateur, in 2004, he finished two strokes behind champion Ryan Moore.

List won the Jones Cup Invitational and was invited to compete in the 2005 Masters as a result of his runner-up position (T33). List began his professional career in 2007, after graduating from Vanderbilt University.

List joined the Nationwide Tour in 2010, where he finished in the top ten four times in his first two years. In 2015, he finished 64th and qualified for the Web.com Tour Finals. He finished 22nd and nearly made the PGA Tour for the 2015-16 season.

List made a return and won the Farmers Insurance Open in January 2022 with a final round score of 66, six under par. He was tied with Will Zalatoris, and as the sun set, the two competed in a playoff. List won the tournament with a birdie on the par-5 18th hole in the playoffs after missing his third shot by a foot. It was List's first PGA Tour victory after 206 starts.

List won his second PGA Tour win and fourth overall at the 2023 Sanderson Farms Championship and defeated Ludvig Åberg, Ben Griffin, Henrik Norlander, and Scott Stallings in a five-man playoff by making a birdie on the opening playoff hole.

Luke List's Caddie

Luke Lists’s caddie is Benjamin Hayes as of April 2024.

According to Golf Monthly, Hayes and List began working together in late 2022 or early 2023. In the years prior, Hayes has caddied for golfers like Ricky Barnes, David Lipsky, Wade Ormsby, JB Holmes, Brett Rumford, and Peter Uihlein. List's previous caddie was Jeff Willett, who caddied for David Toms, Chez Reavie, Nick Taylor, and Davis Love III.

Hayes, an Australian golfer, is a skilled player who has won the club championship at his home course, Portsea GC. At the 2017 Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship, he caddied for Peter Uihlein during his first-ever pro triumph on American soil, he once told The Caddie Network, describing it as the best of his career.

Hayes is a good golfer with plenty of years on the tour, playing in different conditions and on different golf courses. He has been caddying since 1999 and has served as a caddie on the DP World Tour in Australia, Europe, and other countries, as well as the PGA and Korn Ferry Tours in the United States.

List had Dykes Harbin as his caddie up until 2022. The relationship between List and Harbin dates back to the Korn Ferry Tour, when the two shared a few victories. However, the reason for their split is not clear.

At the 2022 Farmers Insurance Open, List and Willet (previous caddie) had a 135-yard approach shot that had to avoid water that was close to the green and a backstop that was four yards past the hole. After adding some extra yardage to account for colder temperatures caused by the setting sun, the two came up with the ideal figure of 148. List had a tap-in birdie for the winning shot owing to the yardage decision.
