Ross Steelman learned to build golf clubs as a teen and it hasn't left him
Steelman says his hands-on club work helped him trust his equipment and improve his play as he leads the Korn Ferry Tour points race.
- Ross Steelman won the Korn Ferry Tour points list this year, securing exemptions to The Players Championship and the U.S. Open for his professional breakthrough.
- During high school, Steelman worked in a Missouri club repair shop during winter, developing skills to build, grind, and bend clubs that shaped his 'ultimate gear head' approach.
- Steelman bought components on eBay and used ChatGPT to identify an iron shaft with a similar feel. "I cut it, glued it, put it in and it felt great," he said, citing improved approach statistics.
- With his Korn Ferry Tour success confirmed, Steelman is headed Down Under for the Australian PGA and Australian Open to compete at the professional level.
- The emergence of young talent like Steelman reflects golf's "silly season," where rising players increasingly influence competition formats including the Skins Game and the TGL indoor league.
