Has Russell Henley won on a PGA Tour event?
Henley made his PGA Tour debut in 2013 at the tender age of 23. He wasted little time making his presence felt on the Tour circuit, posting record-setting marks at the Sony Open in Hawai’i en route to a three-stroke win in his first Tour event.
Henley’s 24-under-par 256 broke the Sony Open scoring record by four strokes. It also proved the second-best 72-hole tournament score in PGA Tour history, only bested by Tommy Armour III’s showing at the 2003 Valero Texas Open.

Henley has added another four PGA Tour wins in the years since his debut. His most recent victory on the Tour came at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational when he held off all comers, including Collin Morikawa, to hoist the trophy at Bay Hill, Fla.
