Latest News About Kurt Kitayama

Here’s the latest on Kurt Kitayama based on recent reporting.

• Kitayama won the 3M Open in July 2025, holding off the field with a course-record-tying 60 in the third round, aided by his brother serving as caddie for that event. This victory was framed as him becoming more complete and consistent in ball-striking and approach shots. The win helped raise his FedExCup standing going into the late-season stretch.[1][2]
• After that win, coverage highlighted that his year had included some misses and lower finishes, but he was regaining form with improved ball-striking and comfort under pressure, especially from difficult shots.[1]
• European/DP World Tour context notes Kitayama’s breakthrough came earlier with the Arnold Palmer Invitational win at Bay Hill in 2023, cementing his status on the PGA Tour; that victory remains a key reference point in profiles and retrospectives.[3]
• Ongoing coverage through early 2026 profile his PGA Tour results, stats, and video highlights, with emphasis on his improved confidence and performance trajectory after 2024 struggles.[6]
