With over $8 million in career prize money and five runner-up finishes on the PGA Tour before claiming his first win, Max Greyserman has quietly become one of the most consistent earners among active American golfers.
His story — from a Ukrainian-immigrant family in New Jersey to the top 100 of the world rankings — is as compelling off the course as it is on it.

Early Life and Golf Journey
Max Greyserman’s connection to golf started in the most unlikely of settings — a resort advertisement.
His parents, Alex and Elaine Greyserman, both refugees who fled Kyiv in the Soviet Union as teenagers, spotted a notice for free golf lessons while vacationing at PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
They attended with Max in a stroller, and that moment planted the seed for what would become a professional career.
Born on May 31, 1995, in Short Hills, New Jersey, Greyserman grew up in a household shaped by academic excellence and competitive drive.
His father, Alex, earned a PhD in statistics from Rutgers University, later worked as a math professor at Columbia University, and built a career as a hedge fund manager and chief portfolio strategist.
His mother, Elaine, played tennis at Rutgers despite later being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Greyserman attended the Peddie School in New Jersey, where he led the golf team to three state championships.
He claimed his first notable amateur title at the 2012 Golf Pride Junior Classic and earned a 2012 AJGA Rolex Junior Second Team All-American selection — sharing that list with Scottie Scheffler.
At Duke University, where he studied public policy and economics, Greyserman steadily improved his scoring average from 74.9 as a freshman to 72.07 as a senior.
He won the 2014 New Jersey State Golf Association Open Championship and the 2015 New Jersey State Golf Association Amateur Championship, and earned a spot on the All-Atlantic Coast Conference Academic Team.
He turned professional in 2017, shortly after qualifying for the U.S. Open in his final collegiate year.
Professional Golf Career
Greyserman’s climb through professional golf was deliberate rather than explosive. After turning pro in 2017, he spent four full seasons on the Korn Ferry Tour, competing in 91 events and slowly building the consistency required to step up.
His best Korn Ferry season came in 2020–21, when he posted six top-10 finishes, including a T4 at the Visit Knoxville Open.
In 2023, he put everything together. Runner-up finishes at The Ascendent and the Pinnacle Bank Championship, five top-10s, and 10 top-25s pushed him to ninth on the Korn Ferry Tour points list — enough to earn his first PGA Tour card for the 2024 season.
His PGA Tour debut year (2024) stunned observers. He recorded four top-10 finishes, including a T7 at the Texas Children’s Houston Open, a T4 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (with partner Nico Echavarría), a solo 2nd at the 3M Open — just one stroke behind winner Jhonattan Vegas — and another 2nd at the Wyndham Championship.
He also made the cut at the 124th U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, finishing T21.
The 2025 season brought yet another heartbreaker. Greyserman led into the final round of the Baycurrent Classic in Japan and closed with a 65, but still lost.
He then finished T2 at the Rocket Classic in Detroit, eliminated on the fifth playoff hole by 20-year-old South African Aldrich Potgieter after all three co-leaders had matched at 22-under-par.
That result extended his runner-up count to five on the PGA Tour — a stunning string of near-misses that earned him over $4.2 million in second-place prizes alone.
His best Major result to date came at the 2026 PGA Championship, where he finished T14. He reached a career-high OWGR of 30 in October 2025.
Caddie
Max Greyserman’s current caddie is Adam Parmer, an American bagman who joined his team at the end of 2024. Parmer previously worked with two-time Korn Ferry Tour winner Tyson Alexander, beginning that partnership in mid-2022.
Their partnership quickly produced results, with Greyserman posting a T2 at the Zozo Championship and a fourth-place finish at the World Wide Technology Championship in their first weeks together.
Parmer also made history at the 2025 Masters Tournament as the only African American caddie in the field.
Before Parmer, Greyserman worked with James Moreno, a product of the renowned Bandon Dunes caddie program in Oregon, throughout his Korn Ferry Tour graduation season and 2024 PGA Tour rookie year.
Wife
Max Greyserman met his wife, Alyssa Smith, at Duke University, where both were tennis players. They married in early 2023, though the exact date has not been made public.
The couple lives in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, along with their dog. Alyssa holds a degree from Duke and works as a product manager at Spotify, where she focuses on product strategy and user experience.
Greyserman has spoken openly about how central family support is to his mental game. When he posted back-to-back runner-up finishes at the 3M Open and Wyndham Championship in 2024, his father texted him that night to keep perspective and to “hug Elisa, pet Lily, and move on.”
His mother, Elaine, participated in the 2022 U.S. Adaptive Open despite living with multiple sclerosis. His brother Reed won the 123rd New Jersey Amateur Championship in 2024 — making Max and Reed the first brothers to both win the event.

Before reaching the PGA Tour, he earned $701,535 on the Korn Ferry Tour across multiple seasons, including $392,140 in his breakout 2023 campaign that secured his PGA Tour card.
His rookie PGA Tour season in 2024 proved immediately lucrative, with an estimated $4,477,081 in earnings driven by five top-10 finishes — more than half of that total, $4,210,400, coming from runner-up finishes alone.
His single-tournament high came at the 2024 3M Open, where his second-place finish behind Jhonattan Vegas earned him $882,900 from an $8.1 million purse.

Through the partial 2026 season, he has added a further $538,509, bringing his verified career total past $8 million and making him one of the highest-earning winless players currently active on Tour.

Endorsements

His bag features an all-Callaway setup including the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond driver, Callaway Elyte fairway wood, Callaway Apex UW utility iron, and Callaway Apex Pro and X-Forged irons.

His rising OWGR and growing media profile through 2025 likely positioned him for contract renegotiations ahead of 2026.
