Joel Dahmen

Joel Dahmen is one of the PGA Tour’s most beloved and relatable personalities, known as much for his candor and humor as for his skill inside the ropes. Born in Clarkston, Washington, Joel now resides in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he enjoys life away from the course with his wife Lona, their son Riggs, and their new puppy, Rusty.

An eight-year veteran on the PGA Tour, Dahmen has become a fan favorite for his authenticity and wit, connecting with audiences in ways few professional golfers ever have. His story is one of resilience: in 2010, Joel was diagnosed with testicular cancer. After making a full recovery, he and Lona launched The Dahmen Family Foundation, dedicated to raising funds for children and families through the game of golf.

Since then, Dahmen’s career has grown alongside his reputation as golf’s everyman — approachable, self-deprecating, and deeply genuine. Whether competing on tour, sharing his perspective with fans, or giving back through his foundation, Joel continues to prove why he’s one of the most enduring and endearing figures in the game today.
