⛳️ Miles Russell: Back in Action

We’re missing golf, so we’re talking golf today. The Bermuda Championship gets rolling today, and everyone’s favorite 16-year-old phenom is teeing it up once again.

Flashback to July and the Rocket Mortgage Classic, at the time, Miles Russell was only 15 years old. He was living out a dream and competing in his first PGA Tour sanctioned event after earning a sponsor’s exemption. That day, he became one of the youngest golfers to compete in a PGA event in the history of the sport.

Now, the Jacksonville Beach, Florida native is a wise 16 years of age. He’ll tee it up for his second career PGA start this week at the Bermuda Championship at the Port Royale Golf Club in, you guessed it, Bermuda.

He’s looking to show his progression in the last few months, as he failed to make the cut after posting a two-day score of even par at the Rocket Mortgage. There, Russell shot out of the gates on the second day, scoring a -3 on the front nine. At the end of his second round, he managed to finish -2. An impressive feet for someone his age, or of any age, for that matter.

He initially shot onto the scene in April of 2024, when he became the youngest player ever to make the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour at the LECOM Suncoast Classic in Lakewood Ranch, FL. Not only did he make the cut, he managed to finish T20.

He currently sits as the #1 ranked junior in the world and the #69 ranked amateur. I can’t sit here and explain in simple terms how insane this is. He is 16, folks! I was lucky to wake up on time for breakfast when I was 16.

We’ll keep you all updated on how he performs this week down in Bermuda!
