Jacob turned pro in 2022 earning nearly $7 million in prize money during his career, per the PGA Tour. The golfer has already posted two top-10 finishes in 2026 and is poised to add a third to the list following the Genesis Invitational.
Jacob and Haley’s wedding website indicated that the couple got married on December 19, 2025, in Greenville, South Carolina. The couple met while both were students at Clemson.
“Haley and Jacob grew up just 20 minutes apart, but their paths didn’t cross until their time at Clemson,” the couple detailed on their wedding website. “Introduced through mutual friends, they started spending time together in group settings, slowly realizing there was something special between them.
“Their first moment came when Haley invited Jacob to her ADPi formal during her sophomore year, and from that night on, they never looked back. Over the past four years, they have shared countless milestones and adventures—celebrating each other’s college graduations, walking many miles on the golf course, supporting each others careers, traveling to new places together, and spending Saturdays cheering on the Tigers.”

Jacob is in the spotlight as the young golfer is paired with Rory McIlroy for the final round of the Genesis Invitational. The golfer headed into the final round with a six-shot lead on McIlroy and plenty of confidence amid a strong week at The Riviera Country Club.
“I know he’s going to play well tomorrow,” Jacob said of Rory ahead of the final round, per ESPN.com. “I know that I can’t back up at all. But I think I feel comfortable. I was a little bit uncertain how it would be last year when I played with him in the playoffs.
“And I had a big day in Baltimore — I had to play good to make the Tour Championship and I was paired with Rory and it was kind of a lot. I think if it was my first time maybe it would be a little unsettling. But now I’m not worried about it.”
