Carson Kuchar is the youngest child of Matt and Sybi Kuchar who was born in 2009. The two children of the Kuchar family are enthusiastic about sports. While the oldest, Cameron Kuchar, plays golf and follows in his dad’s footsteps, the youngest Kuchar plays tennis just like his mother.
Sybi Kuchar was a tennis player in her college days at Georgia Tech, however, she later stopped playing and focused more on the educational side. Although it seems her talent has traversed into her youngest child. Carson Kuchar is a junior tennis player and plays in the 14 and under (boys) category.
One match wherein Carson Kuchar competed was on 6th December at the 2023 ‘Little Mo’ Internationals in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. The 14-year-old, however, lost the aforementioned match but won the ‘Blue Division’ match organized by Battle of Boca. He won against Antione Tardiff and won $100 in prize money. The 14-year-old stands 201 in the National ranking and 8th in South Carolina’s rankings.

Earlier this year, the PGA Tour pro and his wife chose to migrate to South Florida to help their children further in their careers. Kuchar talked about their move and said, “We were looking for higher-level sports. We got great tennis down here and great golf down here.”
The move inevitably benefitted his youngest son’s career, as he got the Olympian coach, Jay Berger, for his tennis play. Although Carson has not won any national title yet, the youngest shows great potential for becoming a great tennis player in the future. Kuchar family and both the siblings share a nice bond and it was visible during the tournament’s first day.
