Michael Thorbjornsen - Golf News, Rumors, & Updates

Nears first victory in Scottsdale Thorbjornsen finished in a share of third place at the WM Phoenix Open following a four-under 67 in the final round.

Impact Thorbjornsen got off to a great start to the round on Sunday with birdies on three of the first five holes. He ended a long stretch of pars with a birdie on the par-5 13th. Thorbjornsen then took the outright lead with an eagle at the par-5 15th. Some nerves might have set in after that huge jolt of adrenaline because he ended up making bogey at 16 and 17. Thorbjornsen then missed a makable birdie on 18 that would have ended up putting him in a playoff with Chris Gotterup and Hideki Matsuyama. Thorbjornsen is going to be a star on the PGA Tour, but this was a good lesson for him on how to react in a high-pressure situation in an incredible atmosphere. He led the field for the week in SG: Off-the-Tee and was top 5 in GIR's and scrambling. Thorbjornsen's breakthrough is coming.

Share of 18th at Farmers Thorbjornsen finished tied for 18th at the Farmers Insurance Open after carding a two-under 70 in the final round.

Impact Thorbjornsen was nine-under through the first two rounds of the tournament and had an inconsistent final round that included an eagle on the par-5 ninth hole, along with three bogeys and three birdies. He ranked fourth in the field in SG: Around the Green, T10 in GIR and in the top-20 in SG: Off the Tee, SG: Total and driving distance, though he finished near the bottom in driving accuracy and SG: Putting. It was a nice bounce-back performance for Thorbjornsen after he missed the cut last week at The American Express, and he'll be in the field for next week's WM Phoenix Open, where he finished T74 in 2025 in what was his lone appearance at TPC Scottsdale.

MC at The AmEx Thorbjornsen recorded a 54-hole score of seven-under-par to miss the cut at The American Express by four shots.

Impact Thorbjornsen found himself in a tie for 12th after playing his first two rounds in a collective 13-under-par, but the 24-year-old fell apart on his second nine during Saturday's third round. He carded a pair of triple bogeys on the Pete Dye Stadium Course to ultimately drop outside the cutline late. He'll look to bounce back this week at Torrey Pines where he missed the cut in his Farmers Insurance Open debut last year.

Uneven final round leads to T7 Thorbjornsen recorded a one-under 69 in the final round of The RSM Classic to finish tied for seventh place.

Impact Thorbjornsen began Sunday's action tied for second and two shots back, but he struggled to get much going on a day when scores were very low with just two birdies and one bogey to fall down the leaderboard.

It's Thorbjornsen's second straight top-10 at the event and fifth top-10 of the year.

T4 in return from wrist injury Thorbjornsen (wrist) closed with a five-under 67 on Sunday to finish in a share of fourth place at the Rocket Classic.

Impact Expectations had to be low this week given it was Thorbjornsen's first start since the PGA Championship due to a wrist injury. You would have never known he was a bit rusty given his play this week tallying rounds of 65-67-68-67. It ended up being just one shot shy of joining a playoff with Aldrich Potgieter, Max Greyserman and Chris Kirk. The former Stanford standout ranked top-10 for the week in SG: Around-the-Green, SG: Putting and driving distance. The 23-year-old has a lot of potential and will continue to grow as he gets more comfortable on the PGA Tour. Thorbjornsen will tee it up at the John Deere Classic next week.
