Jediah Morgan (born 30 November 1999) is an Australian professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour of Australasia and LIV Golf League. He won the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship in 2022 and also won the 2021–22 PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit.[1]

Amateur career

[edit]

In January 2020, Morgan won the Australian Amateur, beating Northern Irishman Tom McKibbin 5 and 3 in the final.[2]

Professional career

[edit]

Morgan turned professional in October 2021. He finished second in the inaugural Sandbelt Invitational in December 2021, finishing six shots behind Brady Watt.[3]

In January 2022, Morgan won the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship, in just his fourth start as a professional. He won by a record eleven shots ahead of Andrew Dodt and also broke the aggregate scoring record with a total of 262. He also became the youngest winner in the tournament's history.[4] With this win, it was good enough to see Morgan claim the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit for the 2021–22 season.
