Ryan Moore

Ryan Moore is one of the most accomplished amateur and professional golfers to ever represent Southern Nevada and UNLV Athletics. Moore was an All-American at UNLV, and widely regarded as the most heralded player in the storied history of UNLV men’s golf. He is also one of the most decorated student-athletes in the history of any Rebel sport.
 
Moore is one of only two UNLV golfers to win an NCAA individual title. He won the title in 2004, while Warren Schutte won his title in 1991.
 
His 2004 amateur golf season is arguably the best in golf history, besting Tiger Woods and Bobby Jones. He captured the U.S. Amateur, the NCAA, the U.S. Amateur Public Links, the Western Amateur and the Sahalee Players Championships to become the first golfer to ever win all five events in the same year.
 
As a UNLV senior, Moore competed in nine collegiate events, capturing three victories and recording three additional third-place finishes. That remarkable final season culminated in Moore sweeping every major national player of the year honor in collegiate golf. He claimed the Ben Hogan Award, the Nicklaus Award, and the Haskins Award. He ended the year with a top 5 finish at the NCAA Golf Championships.
 
Moore’s amateur résumé includes being a member of three prestigious international teams. He represented the United States in two Arnold Palmer Cups and one Walker Cup. As a professional, he played on the 2016 United States Ryder Cup team.
 
Turning professional in 2005, Moore has enjoyed a highly successful career on the PGA Tour since 2006. His professional achievements include five PGA Tour victories and more than 298 cuts made.
