Blake Adams (born August 27, 1975) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour.
Adams was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, but only lived there for two months. His family moved to Dalton, Georgia, where he lived until he was sixteen years old. After his mother remarried, he moved to Eatonton and graduated from Gatewood School, and enrolled at the University of Georgia in Athens.
Adams spent three years at Georgia then transferred to Georgia Southern University in Statesboro. He earned a bachelor's degree in sociology in 2001 and turned professional later that year.
Injuries have plagued Adams throughout his career and he bounced around on the mini-tours until he joined the Nationwide Tour in 2007. In his first full season in 2007, Adams made only 5 of 16 cuts and earned just $23,270.
In 2008, he made 7 of 11 cuts, playing a limited schedule. He had one top 10, earned $63,701, and obtained his full-time Nationwide Tour card for 2009.
Adams had a breakout year in 2009, with seven top-10s between May and August, including a career high finish of solo second place in Canada at the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic. In September, he led the Boise Open by four shots after three rounds, but finished again in solo second by a stroke, earning $78,500. Adams earned $399,749 in 2009 and finished third on the Nationwide money list. He shattered the Nationwide Tour's record for single season earnings without a victory; his successful 2009 season secured him a promotion to the PGA Tour for the 2010 season.
