After becoming pro in 2018, he has won 11 professional events in the last six years, including a Masters Tournament, a WGC event, two Players Championships, two Arnold Palmer Invitationals, and two WM Phoenix Opens.

Eventually, he won the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship, a part of the Korn Ferry Tour Finals, secured a spot on the PGA Tour for the 2020 season, and was also the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.


His first PGA victory came at the 2022 WM Phoenix Open in the playoffs, when he defeated Patrick Cantlay with a birdie on the third extra hole, tying the total at 268 under 16.


He won the 2023 Players Championship with a five-stroke victory over Tyrrell Hatton. The next year, he defeated Xander Schauffele, Brian Harman, and Wyndham Clark with a final score of 268, under 20, to become the only golfer to successfully defend his title at the Players Championship.


Furthermore, in March, he defeated Wyndham Clark by five shots at the 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational with a score of 273, under 15.
