Kevin Kisner is one of the most charismatic Americans in golf, and he has four PGA Tour titles to his name.
Kisner, born in South Carolina in 1984, was brought up with the game of golf by his father Steve. Following a decent junior career, the American played college golf for the University of Georgia, helping the Bulldogs to victory in the NCAA Division I Championship, alongside two fellow PGA Tour winners.
After turning professional, Kisner spent the first few years of his professional career on mini-tours, including the Tarheel Tour and the NGA Hooters Tour. A couple of years on the Nationwide (now Korn Ferry) Tour and Kisner graduated to the PGA Tour. It would take him until 2015 to notch a first win, though.
That came at the RSM Classic in November of that year, and he has gone on to secure four PGA Tour victories. The biggest of those came at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play, beating compatriot Matt Kuchar in the final. He has also represented his country at the Presidents Cup, winning three points out of four in the 2017 edition of the tournament.
