PGA Tour Announces Debut of Amateur Studs Gordon Sargent
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Organizers of the RBC Canadian Open have announced that they are expecting two of the PGA Tour's future stars, Luke Clanton and Gordon Sargent, to join the field of the next event's edition. The tournament will be played June 5-8, one week after the NCAA Tournament in which both players will participate. The collegiate tournament begins next week with regional qualifying. Sargent is a near-certain name in the RBC Canadian Open field as he should avoid delaying the start of his professional career any longer. The former World No. 1 amateur earned his PGA Tour card through the PGA Tour University's accelerated program in 2024, but decided to defer his membership to return to Vanderbilt University for his senior year. Amateur Luke Clanton of the United States plays his shot from the third tee during the third round of the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches 2025 at PGA National Resort And Spa on March... Amateur Luke Clanton of the United States plays his shot from the third tee during the third round of the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches 2025 at PGA National Resort And Spa on March 01, 2025 in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. MoreMeanwhile, Clanton is not in the same situation. The current top-ranked amateur golfer in the world earned his card the same way Sargent did, but just a few weeks ago (after the Cognizant Classic). As a result, the Florida State junior is expected to announce whether or not he will begin his professional career after the NCAA tournament. There is always the possibility that Clanton will follow the same path as Sargent and postpone his PGA Tour membership for a year, in order to play his senior year with de Seminoles. Using their PGA Tour cards would open the doors to the RBC Canadian Open as full members of the circuit. If not, the event can always grant them a sponsor exemption to get the trip to Toronto anyway. Gordon Sargent of United States during a practice round prior to The 152nd Open championship at Royal Troon on July 16, 2024 in Troon, Scotland. Gordon Sargent of United States during a practice round prior to The 152nd Open championship at Royal Troon on July 16, 2024 in Troon, has been making headlines on the PGA Tour in recent months. Between June 2024 and March 2025, he has played in 13 tournaments at this level, making 10 cuts and posting four top 10s, including two runner-up finishes (2024 John Deere Classic and 2024 RSM Classic). As for Sargent, he hasn't played on the PGA Tour (outside of major championships) since 2023. The 21-year-old is in the worst stretch of his career, having not posted a top-10 finish in collegiate golf since last summer and falling to 20th in the world amateur rankings. However, Sargent has proven his exceptional quality on numerous occasions. He has won seven tournaments in his amateur career, including the very strong NCAA Division I Individual Championship in 2022, becoming only the ninth freshman to win the event in its history.
