Golf World Unites to Console 17-Year-Old Prodigy as His ‘Proud’ PGA Tour Entry Meets a Painful Fate: ‘Future Champ’

The WWT Championship has kick-started with all the elite pros in the world competing for the title at the $8.2 million prize purse race. Amongst all the leading golfers in the world is a young, bright kid who made his debut on the PGA Tour at the mere age of 17 years.

The young golf prodigy earned a spot in the WWT Championship at Mayakoba and played the qualifiers on Monday to make his way smoothly into the field of the $8.2 million event. He was not alone and cheering for him was his father who was seen walking alongside him throughout the event. Even though he missed his cut, his father had encouraging words to bestow on the younger golfer!

PGA Tour debut of the 17-year-old prodigy

Billy Davis was welcomed on the PGA Tour with open arms as he competed in Mayakoba. He had family support on the course. His father was interviewed briefly by the PGA Tour page in which they spoke about Davis and his performance. He had a phenomenal first round, a bogey free back nine where he shot four under par, however the front nine where he went three over par took his tally to a total of one under. This costed him to miss the cut off.
