Mito Pereira has been through hardships with his golf game, but after securing a PGA Tour card earlier this year, things have gone up for Pereira, not just on the course, but off it, too.
In 2018 he lost his Korn Ferry Tour card and then played on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica circuit. But this past June, the 26-year-old Chilean became the 12th ever player on the Korn Ferry Tour to earn the three-win promotion to the PGA Tour after winning the BMW Charity Pro-Am - his second straight win.
He got his feet wet on Tour at the Rocket Mortgage Classic (MC) and made his first cut at the John Deere Classic, but eventually found a groove for three straight weeks, finishing T-5 at the Barbasol Championship, T-6 at the 3M Open and then he nearly took home a medal from Japan placing T-4 at the Olympics.
