David Skinns’ journey to the PGA Tour was far from straightforward. After graduating from the University of Tennessee, he returned to the USA to pursue his golfing ambitions. However, instead of joining the PGA Tour, he landed on the less-glamorous NGA Hooters Tour. Despite the lower profile, Skinns credits the NGA Hooters Tour with providing him with a solid foundation and teaching him how to win. He won three times in his debut year, which helped him support his family and continue his career. After several years of trying, Skinns finally earned his PGA Tour card in 2021. However, he lasted only one season before dropping back down to the second tier. But at 42, he’s back again this year and has already shown signs of success, including a tie for fourth at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches. Skinns is now aiming to showcase his skills at the TPC Craig Ranch this week and continue his journey on the PGA Tour.
