Kevin Na from the United States is a five-time PGA Tour winner and one of the most recognizable figures in modern golf, famed for his elite short game and signature “walking in” of putts. A professional since the age of 17, Na began his career on the Asian Tour, where he was the 2002 Rookie of the Year, before becoming a mainstay on the PGA Tour for nearly two decades.
The 2026 season marked a significant new chapter in Na’s career. After four seasons as the captain of the Iron Heads GC on LIV Golf, Na returned to the open market following the 2025 season. He chose the New Zealand Open as the launchpad for his return to the traditional tour structure, using the event to kickstart his bid for reinstatement to the PGA Tour and qualification for major championships. This return to the Asia-Pacific region represents a full-circle moment for Na, who captured his first professional victory in Asia nearly 25 years ago.
