How Jason Langer started in golf

Jason started his journey at the University of Pennsylvania, where he played collegiate golf from 2018 to 2021. He tasted early success in golf at the tender age of 14, when he clinched his first PNC Championship victory with his father.

During his senior season at Penn, Langer showcased his golf prowess, playing in five tournaments and maintaining a solid stroke average of 76.8 over 12 rounds. Despite his demanding career in finance, Langer has continued to make his mark in the golfing world.

Recapping Jason Langer's three victories at the PNC Championship

Year 2023:

After the win, an elated Jason said (h/t Golf Digest):

“It was a ton of fun. I said it earlier, but I don’t get to play as much golf anymore, and I don’t get to see my parents and my family quite as much anymore. To be able to play golf as a family and in a beautiful spot and great competition and play a really good golf course, it’s amazing.”
