Milton "Tony" Finau, a professional golfer, was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on September 14, 1989. As indicated by his birthplace, he attended Utah State and played collegiate golf, taking home the Amateur Championship trophy in 2006.
After going professional in 2007, he made his debut on tours like National Pro Tours, Gateway, and NGA Hooters. He qualified for the Web.com Tour in 2014 through the qualifying school, and the following season, he secured a spot on the PGA Tour after placing 12th in the season finale.
Six of Finau's nine professional victories have come from the PGA; he defeated Steve Marino in a sudden-death playoff at the 2016 Puerto Rico Open to earn his first PGA win. He did not win another professional tournament for the following four years.
He set a record on the PGA Tour for the most top-10 finishes in four years without a win in the 2020 3M Open, where he finished tied for third place. He had placed in the top-10 in thirty events then, and as of April 2024, the number has reached 61 events.
In 2021, he ended his winless streak at The Northern Trust when he defeated Cameron Smith in a playoff match with a score of 264, under 20. His most recent victory was at the 2023 Mexico Open, where he defeated Jon Rahm by three strokes with a score of 260, under 24.
Tony Finau’s Caddie
Tony Finau’s caddie is Mark Urbanek as of April 2024.
Mark Urbanek played collegiate golf at William and Mary (W&M) and has caddied for Charlie Wi, Matt Davidson, and James Hahn in the past. He is, after all, a very good player in his own right, having won his home course club championship with a score of 62 once.
At the 2020 PGA Championship, Urbanek—who was raised in Princeton, New Jersey—took over Finau's bag. Urbanek, who shared the 2015 Northern Trust Open victory with James Hahn, is Finau's best looper, although his coach, Boyd Summerhays, has been his looper as well in the past.
During his first season on the PGA Tour, 2014–15, Gregory Bodine saw that Finau was seeking a caddie and decided to reach out to him on Twitter to see if anything could be arranged. Thus, he served as his caddie. They first met on the course, as Bodine was used to traveling with his professional cousins Andrew and Michael Putnam.
Together, they won the 2016 Puerto Rico Open, which was also their first win together. However, the collaboration ended after six years. Finau called their period of being together "a great run," and Bodine loops for Bryson DeChambeau as of April 2024.
Not very long ago, Finau received criticism for his lack of titles, even though he had the talent to make the cut for the biggest titles in the game. But after having Urbanek as his caddie, his form improved, and he has won five PGA Tour titles since then.
