"We definitely played in the snow a few times." The persistence certainly has paid off for Eichhorn, a native of Carney, Michigan — a small town of less than 200 in the lower middle portion of the Upper Peninsula, just southwest of Escanaba — who is among the newest members of the PGA Tour. Eichhorn, 27, earned his PGA Tour card for the 2027 season by finishing inside the top 20 on the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season points standings.
