Get ready for Tempo Town! California native Jake Knapp brings serious speed, fearless intent, and arguably one of the silkiest swings on Tour. A standout at UCLA, Knapp turned professional in 2016 and powered his way through the Korn Ferry Tour to earn his place on the PGA Tour.
His breakout came with a win at the 2024 Mexico Open—proof that when it’s Knapp Time, he’s ready to close. Long off the tee and confident under pressure, Knapp plays an aggressive brand of golf that looks effortless and hits hard when the moment demands it.
Off the course, Knapp is an avid gamer, drawn to fast decision-making, strategy, and competition—the same instincts that fuel his high-tempo playing style. Before stepping into the Tour spotlight, he worked as a nightclub bouncer, a chapter that adds real-world edge to a player who’s comfortable standing his ground.
Smooth, fast, and fully committed. When Jake Knapp steps up, it’s always Knapp Time.
