Thomas Robert Hoge (/ˈhoʊɡiː/;[2] born May 25, 1989) is an American professional golfer on the PGA Tour.

Amateur career

Born in Statesville, North Carolina, Hoge was raised and still resides in Fargo, North Dakota.[3] After graduating from Fargo South High School in 2007,[4] he played college golf at Texas Christian University, where he won two events.[5][6][7] Hoge tied for third in the individual portion of the 2009 NCAA Championship,[5] and also won several North Dakota and Minnesota amateur titles.[5][8]

Professional career

Hoge turned professional after graduating from college in 2011, initially on the Canadian Tour, where he won that year's Canadian Tour Players Cup.[3] He played on the Web.com Tour from 2012 through 2014; his best finishes were a pair of second-place finishes at the 2013 BMW Charity Pro-Am and the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship in September 2015.

Hoge has played on the PGA Tour since 2015; that August, he co-led after 36-holes (with Tiger Woods) at the Wyndham Championship.[9] His first 54-hole lead was at the Sony Open in Hawaii in January 2018, where he climbed from second after 36 holes,[10][11] but shot par in the final round and finished a stroke back in third place.

In his 203rd start on the PGA Tour, Hoge gained his first victory in February 2022 at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He shot a final round 68 for 268 (–19), two strokes ahead of runner-up Jordan Spieth.[12]

In March 2023, Hoge made the cut at the Players Championship on the number, then set a tournament record by shooting a 10-under 62 in the third round.[13]
