Bud Cauley WITB 2026: From car accident to PGA Tour winner

In 2025, Bud Cauley made a remarkable comeback to the PGA Tour, consistently appearing near the top of the leaderboards.

First gaining attention as the 2006 Junior Ryder Cup standout, he rose to become the world’s top-ranked amateur golfer. His journey took a harrowing turn in June 2018 after a serious car accident, resulting in multiple injuries and sidelining him for months. After a long recovery, Cauley returned to competitive golf in February 2024 at the WM Phoenix Open.

In 2025 he claimed impressive finishes, including sixth at the Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass and fourth at the Valspar Championship. His return showcased both his skill and resilience.

Roll on to 2026 and he completed this remarkable comeback with his first PGA Tour victory at the Canadian Open – winning by 2 strokes from Matt Fitzpatrick.
