Graham DeLaet (born 22 January 1982) is a Canadian professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.
DeLaet was born in Weyburn, Saskatchewan and grew up there and in Moose Jaw. He attended Boise State University where he won 10 collegiate tournaments. He was on the Canadian development golf team, organized by the RCGA, from 2005 to 2006, and credited this experience with improving his game. DeLaet finished 2nd as an amateur in the 2005 Edmonton Open, a Canadian Tour event.
DeLaet turned professional in 2007 and played on the Canadian Tour that year. In his 2007 rookie season he made 11 of 14 cuts with seven top-10 finishes. He was awarded the Bob Beauchemin Shield as the Canadian Rookie of the Year.
He got off to a slow start in 2008, in which he missed the cut in five of his first eight events. However, he earned his first victory as a professional in his ninth start of the season at the Desjardins Montreal Open in a playoff, earning the first place prize of $32,000. He followed this up with a 2nd-place finish at the Jane Rogers Championship the following week and finished tied for 2nd at the season ending Tour Championship.
2009 was a successful season for DeLaet in which he spent time playing on the South African-based Sunshine Tour and the Canadian Tour. During the Canadian Tour season he had two victories at the ATB Financial Classic and the Players Cup and six top-10 finishes in only nine events played. He amassed earnings of $94,579 to lead the Canadian Tour Order of Merit and was chosen as the Player of the Year. At the end of the Canadian Tour season, he rejoined the Sunshine Tour and earned his third victory of the year at the BMG Classic. He finished 8th on the 2009 Sunshine Tour order of Merit while competing in only 5 tournaments and earned R 861,323.
