“It’s not even real right now. I’m just so happy. I just put so much work in, and to win on the PGA Tour means everything to me.” Adam Svensson, the Canadian professional, said this after achieving his first PGA Tour title. The golfer who we see at the course with a clean swing hitting long distances has been turning heads since childhood. It’s not with the clubs, but with his notorious behavior. The earliest golf memory that still sits up on the golfer’s head is driving a cart into a pond with his dad when he was 5 years old.

Away from his professional beginning on the PGA Tour, his life and career are still not known to many. So here is everything you need to know about the Canadian professional.

Early life and career of Adam Svensson

Adam Redmond Sevnsson was born on December 31, 1993 to Frank Svensson and Tina Nilsson. The youngest of the family got early exposure to the sport, all thanks to his father. The journey began as his father started teaching him the sport. Well, it still continues as his father is his swing coach. The Canadian professional with the right training under his father started to turn heads with his performance at the junior level, as he won numerous tournaments. He won the British Columbia Junior Championship twice, the 2010 Callaway World Junior, and the 2010 B.C. Amateur Championship.

Notably, his journey kept on the rise as he joined the collegiate level. Svensson played college golf at NCAA Division II Barry University in Florida, along with pursuing sports management. During that course, he won nine tournaments. Even was accoladed with Phil Mickelson Freshman of the year (2013), Jack Nicklaus Division II Player of the Year (2013-14), and the NCAA First-Team All-America honors twice. Interestingly, he joined the list of most collegiate season wins, matching Tiger Woods and Alex Carpenter.

The professional career of the Canadian pro

Soon after his junior years, he chose to turn pro in 2015 and started playing on the PGA Tour Canada. As expected, the golfer continued to leave a mark with his performance. He was runner-up twice on the Canadian Tour, while having three wins on the SwingThought Tour (Now the NGA Tour) in 2015. Besides this, he was also a medalist at the Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament, helping him with an exemption for the 2016 schedule.

Continuing further, he won thrice at the Korn Ferry Tour, which led him to the PGA Tour card in 2019. However, with the inconsistent performance, he could not retain it. But it didn’t take him long to regain the tour card, as in 2021-22, he was back on the PGA schedule. Not just back, but he claimed his first win soon at the 2022 RSM Classic with a two-stroke difference.

As of 2025, the golfer holds 7 professional wins under his name and a whopping $9.8 million earnings from the PGA Tour. The golfer’s commitment to the sport has helped him with a constant rise after struggling to maintain his PGA Tour card. After the 2021 Korn Ferry win, he shared, “I’ve committed my whole life to this game… I put in so much hard work… the hardest I’ve ever worked in my life. I made a commitment to myself about five months ago… I was tired of… losing my PGA Tour card. Now I’m fully committed.”

However, apart from his happening professional life, the golfer has a grounded personal life.

Svensson’s personal life

The golfer who began his golfing career with his notorious feat along with his father, still has his parents as close supporters. Frank Svensson is still his swing coach and has played a pivotal role in his life. The Palm Beach Gardens, Florida resident enjoys music and fitness as his hobbies, along with his interest in other sports. Apart from golf, he is a fan of hockey and roots for his hometown team, the Vancouver Canucks.

Interestingly, away from his on-course performance, what has caught the attention of the golf community is his sense of humor. The golfer, after his first win, shared how he splurged his earnings on a $500 Dyson vacuum cleaner.

With career ups and downs, the cheerful golfer is now on the rise with his performance. Having just one victory on the PGA Tour, can that number increase? Well, time will tell that, but what is assured is his persistent approach towards the game.
