Early life

Professional career

In 1993, Herron turned professional. He played on the Nationwide Tour in 1995, and the following season he won for the first time on the PGA Tour at the Honda Classic. He won three times in his first four seasons at the top level. Herron continued to play consistently after that, but there was a seven-year gap before he claimed his fourth PGA Tour title at the 2006 Bank of America Colonial. [3] His best finish in a major championship is a solo 6th-place finish in the 1999 U.S. Open. [5] In 2000, Herron was as high as 29th in the Official World Golf Rankings. [3]

Herron has played in 560 PGA Tour events through 2019 and won more than $19.6 million during his career, but has not been fully exempt on the PGA Tour since 2012. [2]

Personal life

Herron resides in Wayzata, Minnesota with his three children: Carson, Mick, and Patrick.

[6] Herron's younger sister Alissa (married name Super) is also an accomplished golfer; she won the 1999 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur title, won several Minnesota state titles, is a member of the Minnesota Golf Hall of Fame, and has served as her brother's agent.
