Pierceson Coody

Pierceson Coody is an American professional golfer from Plano, Texas, born January 7, 2000. He competes on the PGA Tour. Coody is a third-generation professional golfer: his grandfather Charles Coody won three PGA Tour titles including the 1971 The Masters at Augusta National, and his father Kyle played on the Asian Tour and Nike Tour. Pierceson's twin brother Parker, 37 minutes his senior, is also a touring professional.

Coody attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned All-American honors three consecutive years (2020-2022) and topped the World Amateur Golf Ranking in April 2021. He won the 2019 Trans-Mississippi Amateur and the 2020 Western Amateur before helping the Texas Longhorns claim the 2022 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship. He turned professional later that summer and immediately made an impact on the Korn Ferry Tour, winning the Live and Work in Maine Open in just his third start. He added two more Korn Ferry titles in 2023, the Panama Championship and the Price Cutter Charity Championship, finishing inside the top 30 on the points list to earn his PGA Tour card for the 2024 season.

After a difficult rookie year on Tour in 2024, Coody regained his full card and returned with renewed confidence in 2026. He recorded a runner-up finish at the Farmers Insurance Open early in the season and strung together multiple top-20 results, climbing into the mid-40s in the world ranking by mid-February. He cited course familiarity as a key factor in his improved form, noting that understanding how conditions affect ball behavior around greens has sharpened his decision-making. He appeared at the 2026 PGA Championship at Aronimink but missed the cut after rounds of 71-75.
