It was technically his third career PGA Tour start but, really, just his second.
Matt McCarty qualified for and missed the cut in the 2022 U.S. Open. He spent that season on the Korn Ferry Tour, as he did in 2023 and 2024.
And then, the switch flipped. Beginning in late July, McCarty won three times in six starts, earning a promotion to the PGA Tour.
He began his stint as a full-time member with a T-63 at the Sanderson Farms Championship.
One week later, he’s a Tour winner.
McCarty captured the Black Desert Championship in impressive fashion on Sunday in Ivins, Utah, besting the field by three shots.
Here’s a look at some of the things the 26-year-old earned:
McCarty was already exempt into the 2025 Players Championship and U.S. Open by finishing first on the KFT points list. He’s also the second player to earn a three-win promotion from the KFT and then win on the PGA Tour in the same season (Jason Gore, 2005).
