Jeffrey Laurence Overton (born May 28, 1983) is an American professional golfer.

Early life and amateur career In 1983, Overton was born in Evansville, Indiana. His father was a star quarterback at Evansville Harrison High School and for the Indiana State Sycamores.

He attended and graduated from Evansville North High School, leading the Huskies to two State Golf Finals; he finished as State Runner-Up in 1999 (as a sophomore) and then led the Huskies to the State Championship in 2000 as a Junior.

Professional career In 2005, Overton turned pro. He is currently a member of the PGA Tour. He graduated from 2005 PGA Tour Qualifying School in his first attempt and started to play on the Tour in 2006. His strong 2010 season earned him a place on the United States Ryder Cup team; he and teammate Rickie Fowler became the first Americans to make the team without a victory on the PGA Tour.
