David Lingmerth (born 22 July 1987) is a Swedish professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.
Lingmerth played college golf at the University of West Florida (one year) and the University of Arkansas (three years) where he was a two-time All-American. He won one event at West Florida and another at Arkansas.
In 2010, Lingmerth finished college and turned professional. He went through all stages of the PGA Tour Qualifying school, and finished T59th to earn a place on the Nationwide Tour (now known as the Web.com Tour).
Lingmerth thus played on the Nationwide Tour during the 2011 season. He had some success with two third-place finishes and five top-10s but missed out on earning his PGA Tour card by two spots on the season-ending money list, finishing 27th; the top 25 advanced to the PGA Tour. He also played the PGA Tour Qualifying school again in a move to try and earn playing privileges, but finished way down the field outside the top 100.
Lingmerth continued on the Web.com Tour in 2012 and after losing a playoff earlier in the year, he won his first title on the tour at the Neediest Kids Championship in October, finishing a stroke ahead of Casey Wittenberg. Lingmerth ended the season ranked 10th on the money list, which earned him his PGA Tour card for the 2013 season.
In only his second career start on the PGA Tour, Lingmerth finished as a joint runner-up at the Humana Challenge after losing in a three-man playoff. He shot a 10-under-par round of 62 in the final round to get into the playoff alongside Brian Gay and Charles Howell III. He was eliminated at the first extra hole after finding the water with his second shot to the par-5 18th hole. Lingmerth also led the 2013 Players Championship in the third round, finishing T2, two strokes behind Tiger Woods. He finished his rookie season in 75th place, to retain his card for 2014.
