There are 17 left-handed golfers who have won on the PGA Tour

Let’s take a closer look at the lefties on the PGA Tour.

About 10 percent of the U.S. population is left-handed but there has only been 17 lefties to win on the PGA Tour.

One place they can find common ground is the official website of being left-handed, lefthandersday.com, where it appears the struggle is real:

“August 13th is a chance to tell your family and friends how proud you are of being left-handed, and also raise awareness of the everyday issues that lefties face as we live in a world designed for right-handers.”

August 13, 2024, marked the 33rd annual International Lefthanders Day. On that site, you can purchase things such as left-handed scissors. For left-handed golf clubs, you’re probably better off looking elsewhere.

Fifteen non-righties have combined to win 86 times on the PGA Tour, led by you-know-who, Phil Mickelson.

With Brian Harman’s win at Royal Liverpool in 2023, there have now been three lefties to win the Open Championship, joining Bob Charles (1963) and Phil Mickelson (2013).
