class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Austin Eckroat is a professional golfer from Edmond, Oklahoma, currently competing on the PGA Tour. He was born on January 12, 1999, which makes him 27 years old heading into the back half of the 2026 season. Golf fans often ask about his college days, and that story starts at Oklahoma State University, where he built the foundation for his pro career.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a kid, Eckroat grew up watching Tiger Woods win the 2007 PGA Championship at Southern Hills, an experience he still names as his favorite golf memory. His family held Oklahoma State football season tickets throughout his childhood, so committing to the Cowboys felt natural once he reached high school.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"College_Career_at_Oklahoma_State\"><\/span><b>College Career at Oklahoma State<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eckroat played four seasons at <a href=\"https:\/\/go.okstate.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oklahoma State University<\/a> between 2017 and 2021. As a true freshman, he helped the Cowboys capture the 2018 NCAA Championship alongside future PGA Tour winners Viktor Hovland and Matthew Wolff. He went 3-0 in match play that year, and Oklahoma State swept a strong Alabama lineup that included Lee Hodges and Davis Riley in the championship round.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He earned All-America honors in each of his final three college seasons and picked up two individual college wins along the way. His NCAA Championship finishes read T19 as a freshman, T8 as a sophomore, and T17 as a senior, showing steady improvement across his college years.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Amateur_and_National_Team_Highlights\"><\/span><b>Amateur and National Team Highlights<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before turning pro, Eckroat represented the United States on two notable teams:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>2021 Walker Cup<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Part of the winning U.S. team, playing alongside Davis Thompson and Pierceson Coody<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>2019 Arnold Palmer Cup<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Represented the United States internationally<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He also finished third in the inaugural PGA Tour University Class of 2021, which fast-tracked his path to professional golf.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Austin_Eckroats_PGA_Tour_Career_and_Wins\"><\/span><b>Austin Eckroat&#8217;s PGA Tour Career and Wins<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Austin Eckroat turned professional in 2021 and has since built a career worth over $10.2 million in official earnings.

He held on by a single stroke, with the tournament finishing on a weather-delayed Monday. It was his first taste of victory at the highest level of golf.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2024_World_Wide_Technology_Championship\"><\/span><b>2024 World Wide Technology Championship<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Later that year, he captured his second title at the World Wide Technology Championship in Los Cabos, Mexico, played at El Cardonal at Diamante.

He ranks 110th in driving distance at 299.6 yards and 103rd in driving accuracy at 58.49%. Those numbers pull down his overall score, since it&#8217;s the one part of his game that&#8217;s costing him strokes against the field.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Approach_Play\"><\/span><b>Approach Play<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Approach shots are where Austin Eckroat shines. He sits 38th on tour in strokes gained approach, backed up by a greens-in-regulation rate of 66.40%, good for 86th overall. This is consistently the strongest part of his 2026 season.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Putting\"><\/span><b>Putting<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His putting has also held up well. He ranks 55th in strokes gained putting, 23rd in putts per round at 28.37, and 22nd in birdies per round at 4.10. These numbers explain why he keeps making cuts even during weeks when his ball-striking isn&#8217;t sharp.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Austin_Eckroat_at_The_Renaissance_Club_Genesis_Scottish_Open_2026\"><\/span><b>Austin Eckroat at The Renaissance Club: Genesis Scottish Open 2026<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the more interesting stops on his 2026 schedule was the Genesis Scottish Open, played at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/the-renaissance-club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Renaissance Club<\/a> in North Berwick, Scotland.

His approach play and putting continue to be reliable strengths, while his driving remains the clearest area for improvement. If he can tighten up his off-the-tee numbers, his results at events like The Renaissance Club suggest he has the tools to contend again soon.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Austin Eckroat&#8217;s 2026 season tells the story of a golfer who is steady, patient, and quietly building toward his next win. He hasn&#8217;t lifted a trophy this year, but his approach play, his putting, and moments like his opening 59 at the Zurich Classic show the talent is still there. His round at The Renaissance Club summed up his year well: sharp iron play, strong putting, and a driving game that still needs work. As Austin Eckroat heads into the rest of the 2026 season, fans will be watching to see if he can turn these strong pieces into another trip to the winner&#8217;s circle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Also Read About: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/jack-oneill\/\"><b>Jack O\u2019Neill<\/b><\/a><b> | <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/tom-brady\/\"><b>Tom Brady<\/b><\/a><b> | <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/brad-bell\/\"><b>Brad Bell<\/b><\/a><b> | <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/marco-penge\/\"><b>Marco Penge<\/b><\/a><b> | <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jbsagolf.com\/blogs\/cameron-young-golfer-bio-family-career-stats-2026\/\"><b>Cameron Young<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_About_Austin_Eckroat\"><\/span><b>FAQs About Austin Eckroat<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>How old is Austin Eckroat?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Austin Eckroat is 27 years old, born on January 12, 1999, in Edmond, Oklahoma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How many PGA Tour wins does Austin Eckroat have?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has two PGA Tour wins, both in 2024: the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches and the World Wide Technology Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Where did Austin Eckroat go to college?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He played collegiate golf at Oklahoma State University from 2017 to 2021, winning the 2018 NCAA Championship as a freshman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How did Austin Eckroat perform at The Renaissance Club?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He finished T30 at the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open, shooting 5-under 275, a big improvement over his missed cut there in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is Austin Eckroat&#8217;s world ranking?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As of the 2026 season, he sits at 187th in the Official World Golf Ranking.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is Austin Eckroat&#8217;s strongest skill?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His approach play and putting are his strongest categories, ranking 38th and 55th on tour respectively in 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Has Austin Eckroat won in 2026?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No, he has not won yet in 2026, though his standout moment was firing an opening-round 59 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans alongside Davis Thompson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Who is Austin Eckroat&#8217;s equipment sponsor?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He plays PING equipment on the PGA Tour.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin Eckroat is one of the more consistent names on the PGA Tour in 2026, even without a trophy yet this season.
