Born in Cape Town, South Africa, Wise moved to the U.S. with his family when he was three. Raised in Lake Elsinore, California, he attended Santiago High School in Corona and graduated in 2014.

Professional career

After two years at Oregon, Wise turned professional after the NCAA championship. He made his professional debut after qualifying for the U.S. Open, also his first major championship appearance. [5] He missed the cut after shooting rounds of 74-76. In his third start as a professional, he won the Syncrude Oil Country Championship on the PGA Tour Canada. [6] He finished fourth on the Order of Merit and earned a Web.com Tour card for the 2017 season.

On June 18, 2017, Wise won the Air Capital Classic in Wichita, Kansas, five strokes ahead of runner-up Beau Hossler. [7] This win allowed him to earn a PGA Tour card for the 2018 season; he finished 18th on the Web.com regular season money list and was promoted.

At age 21 in May 2018, Wise gained his first PGA Tour win at the AT&T Byron Nelson in Texas; [3] [8] it was his 18th start as a member of the tour. He shot a final round 65 for 261 (−23) at the new Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, three strokes ahead of runner-up Marc Leishman, a co-leader after 54 holes. [8] [9] [10] The win moved Wise from 99th to a career-best 66th in the world rankings. [11] Wise won the 2018 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year award. [12]
