Amateur career

Schniederjans was born in Dallas, Texas, to Oliver and Linda Schniederjans. He lived briefly in North Andover, Massachusetts, and grew up in Powder Springs, Georgia.[1] He graduated in 2010 from Harrison High School in Kennesaw, Georgia, and played college golf at Georgia Tech. As a junior, Schniederjans won five of six events leading up to the NCAA Division I Championship, where he finished runner-up after a three-hole playoff.[2] He won the 2014 Mark H. McCormack Medal after reaching number one in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, a position he held for 41 consecutive weeks.[3] A two-time Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) Player of the Year, Schniederjans was named first-team All-American following his junior and senior seasons and played for the U.S. Palmer Cup team in 2014 and 2015.[4]

He played his first PGA Tour event at the 2015 Valspar Championship, missing the cut. As the McCormack winner, he earned exemptions into the 2015 U.S. Open and the 2015 Open Championship,[3] after which he turned professional.[5] He made his professional debut at the 2015 RBC Canadian Open.[6]
