Who is Tom Hoge?

Tom Hoge is an American that took some time to get going in his professional career, but is now a PGA Tour winner.

Born in 1989 in North Carolina, Hoge moved to North Dakota – where he continues to reside – with his family at a young age. He had a decent junior career, and won several times as an amateur before turning professional in 2011. He won almost immediately on the PGA Tour of Canada, but would then have to wait six years before his next professional victory.

That came on home soil at the Bobcat North Dakota Open, but it would be another five years before Hoge would finally get that elusive win on the PGA Tour. He did so at one of the most iconic tournaments in the game – winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He also won the QBE Shootout later that year.
