20-year-old American professional golfer Nick Dunlap won the Arnold Palmer Award after he was crowned the 2024 Rookie of the Year. On social media platform X (formerly Twitter), the official handle of the PGA Tour uploaded a photo of Dunlap dressed in red and holding his trophy.

It's worth noting that Dunlap turned professional this year after a very successful amateur career in which he won the U.S. Amateur, among other events. While the young American had made a name for himself on the amateur scene, it was the professional circuit where Dunlap shone.
