Professional golfer Milton "Tony" Finau was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on September 14, 1989. As his birthplace suggests, he went to Utah State and played collegiate golf quite frequently, winning the Amateur Championship in 2006.
He turned professional in 2007 and initially played on tours like Gateway, NGA Hooters, and National Pro Tours. Through the qualifying school, he earned the Web.com Tour in 2014, and after finishing 12th in the season finals, he earned his PGA Tour card for the next season.
Finau has a total of nine professional wins, with six from the PGA; he won his first PGA victory in the 2016 Puerto Rico Open in a sudden-death playoff against Steve Marino. After this, he did not win a professional tournament for the next four years. In the 2020 3M Open, where he finished T3, he had a PGA Tour record for the most top-10 finishes in four years without any wins; he had top-10 finishes in 30 events.
This winless drought came to an end in 2021 at The Northern Trust, where he won with a score of 264, under 20, in a playoff against Cameron Smith. While winning three more in between, his most recent triumph was at the 2023 Mexico Open, where he defeated Jon Rahm with a margin of 3 strokes and a score of 260, under 24.
