James Piot from the United States is a proven competitor who currently splits his time across the Asian Tour and PGA Tour Americas. Before making the leap to the paid ranks in 2022, Piot enjoyed a spectacular amateur career anchored by his time at Michigan State University. His defining achievement came at the 2021 U.S. Amateur Championship at Oakmont Country Club, where he won four consecutive holes on the back nine of the final match to secure the victory, making history as the first player from Michigan to claim the prestigious title.
Following his U.S. Amateur triumph and appearances in the Masters and U.S. Open, Piot began his professional career by competing in the LIV Golf League during its 2022 and 2023 seasons. After his tenure there concluded, he demonstrated immense resilience by successfully taking his game to other international circuits. During his 2025 campaigns, Piot recorded several standout performances, highlighted by highly impressive top-five finishes on the PGA Tour Americas at the Fortinet Cup Championship (3rd) and the CRMC Championship (T4). Concurrently, he established himself on the Asian Tour’s International Series, frequently appearing on leaderboards and successfully retaining his playing status for subsequent seasons as he continues to climb the world rankings.
