F-21: Top 60 points leaders and ties in the Official World Golf Ranking, as of May 19
Jaeger broke through for his first PGA Tour victory in March 2024 when he held off world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to win the Texas Children's Houston Open. Previously, Jaeger had captured six titles on the Korn Ferry Tour, which ranks him second all-time behind Jason Gore (7). This will be his fifth U.S. Open start. Jaeger's first win on the Korn Ferry Tour was the 2016 Ellie Mae Classic at TPC Stonebrae, where he opened with a 58. The German-born golfer came to the U.S. as an exchange student in 2006 and attended the Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tenn., where he was teammates with 2011 USA Walker Cup competitor and five-time PGA Tour winner Harris English. He then moved on to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he was a teammate of 2012 U.S. Amateur champion Steven Fox.
