Nick Dunlap has been named the Arnold Palmer Award winner as the PGA Tour’s Rookie of the Year for the 2024 season. Dunlap, 20, becomes the second-youngest recipient ever and the youngest winner of the award since Jordan Spieth claimed the honors in 2013.
As a sophomore at Alabama, Dunlap became the first amateur since Phil Mickelson in 1991 to win on the PGA Tour when he proved victorious at The American Express. He wasn’t done in 2024, though, as Dunlap went on to win the Barracuda Championship later that summer after becoming a professional. With his two wins, Dunlap stood as the first player in PGA Tour history to win as an amateur and pro in the same season.
