The amateurs shone bright this year.

A total of 15 amateurs made 22 cuts on the PGA Tour in 2024.

Luke Clanton of Florida State led the way, having turned the trick at seven different events, including a tie for second in the season-ending RSM Classic.

Neal Shipley made two cuts, both at majors: the Masters and the U.S. Open.

Nick Dunlap, of course, one-upped all the ams in 2024 as he's the one with a victory, at the American Express back in January. He's on the very short list of just eight golfers to win a PGA Tour event as an amateur. He later won the Barracuda Championship for his first victory as a professional.

Would-be winnings

Ams don't get paid if they make the cut or win, of course, but if these guys did pocket the money from the finishing positions they posted, they would have taken home $4,263,930.

Dunlap's payday at the AmEx would've been worth $1.512 million. Clanton's tie for second at the John Deere would've been good for $712,000. His tie for second at the RSM would've meant $676,400. If he could've cashed in on all seven finishes, he'd have won $2,022,713. He would have been the 84th player to surpass $2 million on the PGA Tour's 2024 season money list.
