PGA golfer Cameron Young married Kelsey Dalition in March 2021
They started dating after he graduated from Wake Forest University
Since marrying, the couple have welcomed three kids: Henry, John and Vivienne
When professional golfer Cameron Young took home the trophy at the 2026 Players Championship, he thanked his wife, Kelsey Dalition.
“None of this is possible without my wife Kelsey and my family,” he told the Golf Channel after winning the tournament on March 15. “She works incredibly hard on all of our behalf. I mean, it’s constant. They travel all the time, so she holds up that part of it at home, and does it all on my behalf, so I can go do my job and chase my dreams.”
Young and Dalition got married in March 2021 and have since welcomed two sons, Henry and John, and a daughter, Vivienne, per his PGA Tour bio and Golfweek.
Before he met Dalition, Young grew up in Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., and played golf at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, where his father was the head golf professional. Young attended Wake Forest University and became a professional golfer in 2019.
Shortly after going pro, Young married Dalition at 23 years old. At the same time, Young’s professional career was booming. He made his Korn Ferry Tour debut in July 2020 and won his first professional tournament at the AdventHealth Championship.
As Young grows in his career, he has had his family beside him.
So who is Cameron Young’s wife? Here’s everything to know about Kelsey Dalition and her relationship with the pro golfer.

Though the young couple are private on social media, Young confirmed to Golfweek that he got married to Dalition on March 6, 2021. Young’s caddie at the time, Scott McKean, served as his best man.
Young began dating Dalition after graduating from Wake Forest, but told Golfweek that they’ve known each other all of their lives.
“We’ve known her family since we lived in Garrison [N.Y.],” he told the publication in June 2021. “I played hockey for her dad and with her brother. They’re not a golf family at all so Kelsey is kind of still learning the ropes.”
He continued, “It’s actually great for me, because the last thing I want to do when I get home is answer questions like, ‘Why’d you pull a 9-iron on 16?’ That would make my head explode, so that’s been a blessing.”
They share three children

Dalition and Young have welcomed three children: Henry, John and Vivienne. After Henry was born, Young said his son has helped him “forget about golf” a bit when he gets off the course and enjoy more family time.
“I have spent a lot of time with my family, my wife. We have a little baby, so spent a lot of family time, which has been great,” he told Golf Digest in March 2022. “Honestly, they’ve been out with me the last couple weeks and it’s been such a nice change of pace to be with them on the road.”
He continued, “I think it just keeps you a little fresher. You get off the course and you can kind of forget about golf a little bit, which is really nice.”

The pair were living at Young’s parents’ house when they welcomed Henry. Young shared that while he was finding success as a professional golfer, the couple had yet to move into their own house.
“We’ve been living with our parents the whole time,” Young told Golf Digest.
In January 2022, Young said he couldn’t yet afford a home in Jupiter, Fla., where many professional golfers live. However, in the following months, Young and Dalition were able to make the move.
“We said ‘that’s enough, we’re gonna buy something,’ ” he said in March 2022. “In Jupiter right now it’s like open house Saturday, sold on Monday, so we closed on Monday of Honda [Classic] week.”

Dalition may be private online, but she doesn’t hesitate to show up in support of her husband during his tournaments — and has even brought their kids along.
Following tradition, Dalition joined other golf wives during the 2022 President’s Cup, where they supported their husbands as they played in the international tournament.
She matched Young and the rest of the U.S. team in red, white and blue colors when they took on the opposing international team consisting of players from South Africa, Canada, Colombia, Australia, Chile, Korea and Japan.
In April 2023, Dalition and Henry joined Young on the golf course during the Par 3 contest prior to the 2023 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia, where she participated in the tradition of wives caddying for their husbands.
Dalition and Henry once again joined Young at the Par 3 contest in April 2024, with Henry adorably hitting some golf balls alongside his dad.
She also brought all three of their children to cheer him on during the 2026 Players Championship in Florida, where he took home the trophy.

As Young prepared to make his second appearance at the 2023 PGA Championship, Dalition encouraged him to debut a new, beardless look.
“Honestly, my wife just kind of said, why don’t you shave. It wasn’t like … I don’t think I looked terrible. I don’t know,” Young said at Oak Hill Country Club in May 2023, where he was preparing for the competition, according to Golf Digest. “Yeah, I haven’t been clean-shaven probably since our first son was born.”
