Already accomplished
Russell has a massive list of accomplishments coming out of high school. He’s a two-time AJGA Boys Player of the Year, becoming the youngest player to ever win in 2023 and just the seventh player in history to win twice.
He’s also won notable junior tournaments, including the Junior PGA Championship (2023), Junior Open Championship (2023), and Rolex Tournament of Champions (2024), to name a few.
Amateur appearance
At just 17 years old, Russell has seven pro starts under his belt. In 2024, he has two starts where he missed the cut at the Rocket Mortgage Classic and the Butterfield Bermuda Championship, followed by two more in 2025 at the ISCO Championship and Procore Championship. He missed the cut both times in 2025 as well.
He made history in 2026 at the U.S. Open, becoming the second-youngest player in history to make the cut. He finished T39 ahead of notable names in Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, and Cameron Young.
His 2026 run also includes a T50 finish at the Puerto Rico Open and another appearance at the ISCO Championship.
Trajectory
By the time 2036 rolls around, Russell will already be an established pro at 27. He’s made no indication as to when he’ll turn pro and remains committed to playing for the Seminoles in 2027.
Analysts expect him to make the jump from college to pro anywhere between 2028 and 2031, giving him at least five years to win a major before the Kalshi deadline.
