Brian Patrick Campbell (born March 6, 1993) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour, where he has won twice, the 2025 Mexico Open and 2025 John Deere Classic.
Early life
[edit]Campbell was born in Newport Beach, California and was raised in Irvine. He attended Mater Dei High School. He grew up playing at Mesa Verde Country Club in Costa Mesa where his parents, Don and Kim, were members.[3]
Career
[edit]Campbell played college golf at the University of Illinois.[4][5]
Campbell finished tied for 27th and was the low amateur at the 2015 U.S. Open.[6] He made his professional debut two weeks later at the Nova Scotia Open on the Web.com Tour.[7]
Campbell reached the PGA Tour for the first time in 2017, but did not do well enough to retain his tour card. He spent the next seven years battling injuries and trying to stay on the secondary tour. Prior to the 2023 Korn Ferry Tour Championship, Campbell was 75th on the Korn Ferry Tour points list, the last available position for full status. He returned to the PGA Tour after the 2024 season.
Campbell won his first professional tournament at the 2025 Mexico Open on the PGA Tour. He defeated Aldrich Potgieter in a sudden-death playoff.[8] In July 2025, Campbell defeated Emiliano Grillo on the first playoff hole to win the John Deere Classic.[9]
