Why PGA Tour Pro Cameron Young Wears an MLB Patch
A Simple Backstory
Cameron Young, a rising star in the golf world, has a unique signature look on the course: he wears a Major League Baseball (MLB) patch on the right side of his collar. This patch, which Young has worn since his early days as a professional golfer, has a simple backstory that stems from his personal connection with MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred.
A Growing Connection
Young's relationship with Manfred began when he was a standout golfer at Wake Forest University, where Manfred's son was also a student. The two families became acquainted, and Young's admiration for Manfred's leadership and passion for baseball grew.
When Young turned professional in 2019, he decided to honor his connection to Manfred and the sport he loved by wearing the MLB patch on his golf attire. The patch serves as a reminder of the positive influence Manfred has had on his life and a symbol of his love for baseball.
