In 2024, after Davis Bryant scored a T3 finish despite a stunning opening round at the Asher Tour Talking Stick Championship, he couldn’t help but say, “It’s never always going to be that easy. I wish it was.” And that’s the thing, golf is never easy. Despite that, the Colorado State University alum is looking to change his fortune this season, especially after his first DP World Tour top 10 finish at the 2025 Italian Open. However, given his sudden rise in the golf world, you cannot help but wonder: Who is Davis Bryant?

The 25-year-old Davis Bryant was born on January 7, 2000, in Aurora, Colorado, and attended Eaglecrest High School, where he ranked as the top golfer in Colorado and No. 54 in the class of 2018 by the National Junior Golf Scoreboard. He qualified for the U.S. Junior Amateur Championship in 2015 and 2017, reaching match play in 2017. Following that, Bryant became the 2017 CHSAA Class 5A State Champion and earned High School Player of the Year honors.

That same year, he won three Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado Major Championships, securing the Junior Golf Alliance of Colorado Player of the Year title. Additionally, he participated in the Junior Americas Cup three times for Team Colorado and received selection by the First Tee to play in the 2015 Champions Tour Nature Valley First Tee Open. However, Davis Bryant performed just as strongly during his college years at Colorado State University.

Following his successful run at his high school, Bryant attended Colorado State University, where he earned a Master’s Degree and played on the golf team. During the 2022-23 season, he participated in all 13 events with a stroke average of 71.67, finishing in the top five three times. Interestingly, Bryant holds the second-lowest career stroke average in CSU Men’s Golf history at 71.95. Bryant also helped the Rams secure three team titles: the Gene Miranda Falcon Invite, Ram Masters Invitational, and Denver TPC Colorado Invite. He eventually finished his college career ranked as the 78th amateur golfer in the world according to the World Amateur Golf Ranking.

After graduating, he moved in with his grandparents in Phoenix to pursue a professional golf career. His journey began on a high note at the 2024 Asher Tour Talking Stick Championship, where he finished T3. Following that, Davis Bryant played in the 2024 Power Ranch Championship, finishing ninth. His golf travels took him to California, where he made the cut at the 2024 Santa Barbara Open, finishing T-16, and placed 15th at the 2024 Central Coast Championship. However, Bryant’s lifestyle also includes traveling with friends to tournaments, which helps him stay mentally focused.

Davis Bryant enjoys a healthy (and happy) life outside of golf

Davis Bryant enjoys traveling outside of golf as well, often driving with friends to tournaments and splitting the costs for hotel rooms, which enhances the experience. “You are out on an island by yourself,” Bryant said in 2024. “There’s a lot of time outside of the tournament round and your mind can wander. Having buddies can help you stay mentally in the right spot – In college, we frankly just didn’t have any time. If I did I was always doing my homework.” 

During his 2024 run at the Santa Barbara Open, Davis Bryant, rather than focusing on homework, brought a book—The Terminal List by Jack Carr—and headed to the beach. “I’ve been doing some more reading – crime, mystery books, self-improvement,” he said. By that time, Davis Bryant had already read five books and reflected his desire to balance his professional commitments with personal interests and relaxation. “Then really just visiting and going through the area where we’re playing. In Santa Barbara, I got done at noon and saw the town and went to the beach, read my book, and kind of vegged out.” Then, of course, he confessed: “I enjoy getting lost in a book and staying off my phone.” 

But Davis Bryant also enjoys spending time with his friends – even when it has nothing to do with books. In 2017, for instance, he updated his Instagram followers about a baseball match he played with his friends and said, “Out here havin fun💯⚾️.” One time, he also updated his followers following the celebration of Senior Prom at his high school. Bryant said of the occasion, “What an awesome last couple days at my Senior Prom,” and “It’s been a great senior year and I can’t wait for the next chapter!”
