Burns debuted on the PGA Tour in October 2017 at the Sanderson Farms Championship. He participated in the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open a week after placing T43 and finished T20.

Burns won his second PGA Tour title in October 2021 at the Sanderson Farms Championship in Jackson, Mississippi. Burns defeated Davis Riley in a playoff to win the 20th Valspar Championship on March 20, 2022.

Burns defeated Scottie Scheffler in a playoff in May 2022, and went on to win the Charles Schwab Challenge with a 38-foot birdie putt. The largest comeback in a final round at Colonial Country Club was matched by Burns, who overcame a seven-stroke deficit to win.

Sam Burns’ Caddie

Sam Burns caddie is Travis Perkins as of April 2024.

Sam Burns became a professional in 2017 and debuted on the PGA Tour in 2019. During his tenure on the tour, Travis Perkins has served as his looper. Perkins, originally from Lewis Center in Ohio, has always loved golf and looked up to players like Jack Nicklaus and Fred Couples as a child.

He played golf for Florida Southern College before getting a PGA Tour card in 2008, but he struggled to keep his status despite going through three cuts in the 2008 season. He therefore paired up with his friend Kris Blanks to caddie for him in 2011. But D.A. Points' victory at the 2013 Shell Houston Open marked the beginning of Perkins' actual success as a caddie.

When Burns went professional, Perkins, who had previously caddied for Scott Piercy, Aaron Wise, Brandt Snedeker, and Cameron Tringale, paired up with him, and the two have hardly looked back since.

Sam played fantastic golf for 72 holes, according to Perkins, who was generous in praising Burns' victory at the Valspar Championship. Perkins said, "He putted unbelievably. It made my job easy—just get him on the green.”

Burns' 2022 season got off to a rocky start with three missed cuts in the first four tournaments, but he showed indications of improvement by placing tied for ninth in the Arnold Palmer Invitational, indicating that his and Perkins' collaboration is still very much on the right track. Similarly, in 2023, Burns won at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in March 2023, against Cameron Young with 6 and 5.
