From 2010 to 2013, he was on the PGA Tour Canada, but he had very little success. He was picked on the Web.com Tour in 2015 after a successful 2014 on the PGA Tour Latino American golf circuit.
His Web.com Tour's successful two-year stint earned him his PGA Tour card in 2017. However, he has not had much success in the next two years. He finished as runner-up to Max Homa in the 2019 Wells Fargo Championship.
After two mid-performing years on the tour, Joel Dahmen finally registered his first win at the Corales Puntacana Resort and Club Championship.
In 2005, Dahmen lost his mother due to pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed with testicular cancer in 2009 and kept fighting the disease till he got rid of it in the same year.
He married his long-time food blogger girlfriend Lona Skutt in December 2018. The couple has a son named Riggs William Dahmen, who was born on January 19, 2022.
Why was Joel Dahmen not in the 2023 Masters?
The 35-year-old American golfer, who is considered a fan favorite, especially after Netflix's docuseries Full Swing, missed out on the 2023 Masters. He had failed to qualify for the event. He did not meet any of the qualification criteria mentioned by the organizers.
He even managed to finish in the top 10 rankings on the leaderboard of the 2022 U.S. Open. Qualifications were not enough as he was ranked in the 100th position in the OWGR. He had his final chance at the 2023 Valero Texas Open, and if he had won the tournament, he could have earned his chance at the 2023 Masters. But he finished in the devastating T69 position in the tournament.
Joel Dahmen has not even been to Augusta National Golf Club a single time in his career. But with the kind of talent he has, he will surely get an invite in a few years' time.
