Former Georgia golfer earns over $1.7M in PGA Tour win

Former Georgia Bulldogs golfer Brian Harman earned a PGA Tour win in the 2025 Valero Texas Open. Harman's fourth career PGA Tour win comes at an ideal time with The Masters being held this week from April 10-13 in Augusta, Georgia.

"The conditions just wouldn't allow for a super low score," said Harman after his victory. "I didn't have my best stuff today, but good enough to make a few putts, and a couple birdies on the back nine helped a lot."

Harman won the Valero Texas Open by three strokes. He entered Sunday with the lead and maintained it despite not having ideal weather. Harman finished nine-under and shot three-over par during his final round.

The Valero Texas Open had a $9.5 million purse. Harman earned $1.71 million in winnings, which is by far the most he's earned all season.

Harman, who had not finished in the top 10 of any PGA Tour event this season, decided to switch things up and used a new putter. His bold decision to change things worked out well en route to his victory.

Harman is one of several Georgia Bulldogs that will be competing in The Masters, which is the first PGA Tour event of the season. Harman is the fourth different UGA golfer to win a PGA Tour event this year. He joins Sepp Straka, Harris English and Russell Henley in winning 2025 events.

Former Georgia Bulldogs have won four of the 15 total PGA Tour events this year.
