Takumi Kanaya

26-Year-Old Golfer
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kanaya is a seven-time winner on the Japan Tour and a former top-ranked amateur in the world. He will be a PGA Tour rookie in 2025 that has already appeared in 11 majors and previously cracked the top-50 of the OWGR. Kanaya got his shot at PGA Tour Q-School and made the most of it by finishing third and earning a card at age 26. There are valid questions on how Kanaya's game will translate to a full season on the PGA Tour, but he is wise beyond his years and is one of the best Japan has to offer. Read Past Outlooks
Will play at Valhalla
May 7, 2024
Kanaya is listed in the field for the PGA Championship at Valhalla next week, the PGA America announced Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Kanaya was just outside the top-three in the Federation Ranking that earn an automatic invite to the PGA Championship. Sitting at 105th in the OWGR, however, the PGA America elected to give Kanaya a spot this year. He will be coming into Valhalla off a win, a T11 and a T6 in his last three starts. Kanaya has made just one cut in nine career major championship starts.
