Tallahassee, Florida – Florida State University junior Tyler Weaver has made significant strides in competitive golf over the past four months, participating in high-profile tournaments that are preparing him for the upcoming collegiate season. Motivated by the recent transition of his former teammate, Luke Clanton, to professional golf, Weaver has been pushed to elevate his own game.
During the preseason, Weaver received invitations to compete in two prestigious events: the U.S. Open and the Walker Cup. The U.S. Open took place from June 12 to 15 at Oakmont Country Club in Pennsylvania, where he was one of just 15 amateurs competing. Despite finishing 9 over par over the first two days, Weaver showcased his talents and finished fourth among his fellow amateur competitors. The experience offered him the chance to play alongside notable alumni such as Brooks Koepka and Daniel Berger, providing valuable lessons from seasoned professionals.
Following the U.S. Open, Weaver was selected to represent the Great Britain and Ireland (GB&I) team at the 50th Annual Walker Cup held at Pebble Beach, California. He excelled in the event, helping his team secure a 3-1 lead alongside partner Connor Graham. Although GB&I ultimately lost to the United States, Weaver expressed resilience and maintained a focus on improving his golf process.
Weaver’s success is not without precedent; he was named the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Freshman of the Year in 2024 and finished as the ACC Championship runner-up in 2025. As the current collegiate season unfolds, he has recorded one finish tied for 24th at the Fighting Illini Invitational with a score of 2 over par. Weaver is now preparing for another significant tournament, the World Amateur Team Championship, which is scheduled for October 8-11.
As he gears up for the World Amateur Team Championship, Weaver has been meticulously planning his preparation weeks in advance to ensure he is ready for the competition. The dedication that he has displayed over the past months indicates a strong commitment to both his personal and team goals as he navigates this competitive season.
Taylor’s recent accomplishments, including his performance in both the U.S. Open and Walker Cup, not only reflect his talent but also signify the bright future that lies ahead as he further establishes himself in the world of collegiate and amateur golf.
