The Englishman registered his first PGA Tour victory in the 2020 Arnold Palmer Invitational just before the circuit was shut down for the COVID-19 pandemic. That gave Hatton eight worldwide wins. He collected his ninth at the BMW Championship in October 2020, the DP World Tour's flagship event. It was his fifth European Tour victory and first since the 2019 Turkish Airlines Open. He collected his sixth win on that circuit in Jan. 2021 in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship. This will be his sixth appearance in the U.S. Open. He tied for sixth in 2018 at Shinnecock Hills. He also was a member of the victorious 2018 European Ryder Cup Team, and the 2021 European Team.
