Max Greyserman

Max Alexander Greyserman (born May 31, 1995) is an American professional golfer on the PGA Tour. He played college golf at Duke University and played on the Korn Ferry Tour for four seasons. Greyserman earned his first PGA Tour card in 2023.

Early and personal life Greyserman was born in the Short Hills section of Millburn, New Jersey, to Alex and Elaine Greyserman. His father is a hedge fund manager and a Columbia University math professor.

He has an older sister, Jacquie, who played college tennis at Emory University. Reed won the 123rd New Jersey Amateur Championship in 2024, making him and Max—who won it in 2015—the first brothers to win the tournament in history.

Greyserman played varsity golf at Pine Crest School in South Florida as a seventh grader.

Greyserman lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, with his wife, Alyssa. They met in college, and she played college tennis.

College Greyserman played four seasons for Duke University, where he studied public policy and economics, and graduated in 2017. In 2014, he also shot a six-under 207 and won the 94th New Jersey State Open, while caddied by his father.

In 2014–15, Greyserman posted a 75.3 stroke average at Duke.

Greyserman posted a 73.20 stroke average at Duke in 2015–16. In 2016–17, Greyserman had a 72.07 stroke average.

In the 2020–21 season, Greyserman posted six top-10 finishes. In Korn Ferry Tour starts, he finished No. 46 in the regular season points standings. His highest finish of the season was a T4 at 16-under at the 2021 Visit Knoxville Open. He ranked fifth on the Tour in putting average, with 1.718 putts per green in regulation.

He suffered a wrist injury in 2022, a fractured lunate, necessitating surgery in April 2022. Greyserman has four top-10 finishes on the 2024 PGA Tour: T7 at the Texas Children's Houston Open, T4 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (playing with partner Nico Echavarría), solo 2nd at the 3M Open, where he finished one stroke behind winner Jhonattan Vegas, and 2nd at the Wyndham Championship.

In mid-June 2024, at the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, Greyserman finished at 5-over par, 285, in a tie for 21st overall.

The following month he came in second with a 268 at the 3M Open at the TPC Twin Cities, in his 22nd PGA Tour start. He finished one shot behind Jhonattan Vegas, and won $882,900.

He finished second in August 2024 in the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club, after shooting 69 and finishing two strokes back of Aaron Rai, who won the tournament. It was his best finish of the year to that point, out of 21 tournaments. Greyserman had been in the lead by four strokes after he had an eagle on the par-4 13th hole, but one hole later he had a quadruple-bogey 8 on the 14th hole. While he birdied the par-5 15th hole, advancing to the lead by one shot, he then had a double bogey on the par-3 16th hole, and made par on his last two holes. Golfer Matt Kuchar was playing in the final group with Greyserman. Kuchar suddenly walked off the golf course after his tee shot on hole number 18, and marked his ball to finish the hole on the following day; he said that he did so because the sun had set, he felt it was too dark to continue, and by setting an example for Greyserman he was trying to help Greyserman hoping that Greyserman would likewise stop, and that Greyserman's performance thereafter on the 16th hole could have been avoided. Kuchar said that he thought that Greyserman had been treated unfairly by the officials at the tournament, who he thought should have postponed play a number of holes earlier because of the descending darkness, and that Greyserman should have won the tournament.
