Derek Bard

Derek Bard's college and amateur record brought him onto golf's national stage. At Virginia, he became a three-time All-ACC selection and recorded three individual college victories. In 2015, he reached the final of the U.S. Amateur at Olympia Fields.

That amateur run led to appearances at both the Masters and U.S. Open in 2016. Bard also represented the United States in the Arnold Palmer Cup, adding international team competition to his college and major-championship experience.

His professional career has included Korn Ferry Tour opportunities and competition on the Minor League Golf Tour. The latter's official record confirms a 2026 appearance and a tied seventh finish with rounds of 68, 66 and 71. His current profile connects that verified tournament activity with the amateur achievements that first established his name.
