Adam Hadwin (born 2 November 1987) is a Canadian professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour. He has won once on the PGA Tour, twice on the Web.com Tour, and twice on the Canadian Tour.
Hadwin was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan and lives in Abbotsford, British Columbia. He grew up playing golf at the Ledgeview Golf Club there; one clubmate was another top young player, Nick Taylor. His father Gerry is a golf club professional who joined the Canadian PGA in 1979. Hadwin was a member of the RCGA's 2008 Canadian men's amateur team. He attended the University of Louisville on golf scholarship, studying business, and earned All-America Honorable Mention for 2009.
Hadwin turned professional shortly after leaving college. His first professional win came at the Ledgeview Open on the Vancouver Golf Tour (VGT). He went on to win a total of four VGT events in 2009, including the Golden Ear's Open, the Johnston Meier Insurance Open and the RBC Invitational Pro-am, asserting himself against the top professionals in Western Canada. Hadwin won a 2009 Gateway Tour Winter Series Sponsorship event.
Hadwin joined the Canadian Tour in 2010, earning exempt status in the 2010 California Winter Qualifying School. He won the Rivermead Cup as the top Canadian finisher in the 2010 RBC Canadian Open at St. George's Golf and Country Club in Toronto. This was his first PGA Tour event, and he finished at 5-under-par 279, good for a tie for 37th place. Hadwin played in the 2010 Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic, a Nationwide Tour event, finishing in a tie for 33rd place. Hadwin returned home in September and won the Vancouver Golf Tour's Vancouver City Open with a score of 204 (−10). Hadwin won the Canadian Tour's 2010 Desert Dunes Classic in the Palm Springs area, in November. He had six top-10 finishes on the Canadian Tour in 2010, and was the circuit's Canadian Rookie of the Year.
