Miles Russell, who became the youngest player ever to make the cut on the Korn Ferry Tour at 15, will make his PGA Tour debut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic later this month, it was announced Monday.
Russell, the reigning American Junior Golf Association Player of the Year, finished in a tie for 20th at the Korn Ferry Tour's LECOM Suncoast Classic on April 21. In doing so, he became the youngest player since at least 1983 to finish in the top 25 in a Korn Ferry Tour or PGA Tour event.
Now, after being awarded one of four sponsor's exemptions, Russell gets his first shot to tee it up against the top professionals in golf on June 27-30 at Detroit Golf Club.
