Professional career

Ramey turned professional in 2014. He played on the PGA Tour Canada in 2017 and finished 16th on the Order of Merit; claiming a card for the 2018 Web.com Tour season. [1]

Ramey claimed his first professional victory in 2021 at the Live and Work in Maine Open.

In March 2022, Ramey claimed his first win on the PGA Tour at the Corales Puntacana Championship. He carded a final-round 67 to beat Ben Martin and Alex Smalley by one shot. [3] .

In the 2023 season, Ramey was the 18-hole leader in the 2023 Players Championship, shooting a 64 in the first round. He eventually finished the event in a share of 27th place and finished the season 118th in the FedEx Cup Standings. [4] .

In April 2024, Ramey and his partner Martin Trainer shot a final round 63 to take the lead of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. They eventually lost in a playoff against Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry. He finished the season 116th in the FedEx Cup Standings and secured his card for the following season.

In the 2025 PGA Tour Season, Ramey recorded four top-10 finishes included a T-5 at the Valero Texas Open in April as well as a crucial T-2 finish at the World Wide Technology Championship, shooting 27 under par with four rounds in the 60's where he made 31 birdies. This tournament vaulted Ramey from 123rd to 89th in the FedEx cup Standings.

Playing Style

Ramey is known for his considerably abbreviated follow through in his swing where he keeps his head very steady and does not raise it up even after impact, hence his nickname: Side Eye.
