(past champion status) eGolf Professional Tour money list winner](egolf-professional-tour-money-list-winners) Samuel Scott Brown (born May 22, 1983) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.
Amateur career
Brown attended the University of South Carolina Aiken, playing collegiate golf for the Pacers at the Division II-level.
Professional career
In 2006, Brown turned professional. He began playing mini-tours. Brown played on the NGA Hooters Tour from 2007 to 2009 and finished on top of the eGolf Professional Tour money list in 2009, with three wins.
In 2010 and 2011, he played on the Nationwide Tour, recording five top-three finishes in 2011 to finish eighth on the money list and earn a PGA Tour card for 2012. Brown missed his first six PGA Tour cuts before finished tied for fifth at the 2012 Puerto Rico Open. Brown had two fifth-place finishes in 2012, but could only manage to place 148th on the PGA Tour money list, barely maintaining conditional status by $4,468.
Brown started the 2013 season dividing his time between the PGA Tour and Web.com Tour. Brown regained his PGA Tour card through 2015 with a win at the 2013 Puerto Rico Open. He qualified for the 2013 Open Championship and, as a tour winner, the 2013 PGA Championship.
Personal life
Brown's grandparents, Herman and Elizabeth Thacker, live on a property adjacent to Augusta National Golf Club. The club, seeking to expand its grounds, has made several offers to the family for the property and have been declined, though the Thackers did sell property they owned across the street to the club for $1.2 million. Brown has never played in The Masters.
