Troy Jason Matteson (born November 8, 1979) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.
Matteson was born in Rockledge, Florida. He played college golf at Georgia Tech and won the NCAA Individual Championship in 2002.
Matteson joined the Nationwide Tour in 2004. He set the record for the most money won in one season on the Nationwide Tour during the 2005 season, picking up $495,009 while recording victories at the Virginia Beach Open and the Mark Christopher Charity Classic. This earned him a promotion to the PGA Tour for 2006. His record was eclipsed in 2009 by Michael Sim.
Matteson picked up his first win on the PGA Tour at the Frys.com Open on October 15, 2006. He struggled during most of 2006 but finished in the top-10 in his last five events en route to a career best 36th-place finish on the money list.
Matteson continued to be consistent in 2007 and 2008, finishing 73rd and 89th on the money list respectively. He finished in a tie for second at the 2008 PODS Championship.
In 2009 at the Frys.com Open (not the same Frys.com Open that Matteson won in 2006) in Scottsdale, Arizona, Matteson set a 36-hole PGA Tour scoring record. Matteson shot 61-61 on Friday and Saturday for a total of 122 strokes. This feat beat the record of 123 set earlier in the season by Steve Stricker at the Bob Hope Classic. He went on to win the tournament in a three-man playoff over Rickie Fowler and Jamie Lovemark. He went on to finish 56th on the money list.
