David Puig

## **David Puig: Learning his craft with LIV Golf** David Puig is one of the few LIV Golf members to have been born in the 21st century and was the youngest on the roster until Caleb Surratt joined the series last season. Puig started playing junior golf in his native Barcelona and represented Spain twice at the Junior World Cup in Japan, helping his nation take silver in 2018 and bronze the following year. He was selected for Europe in the 2018 Junior Ryder Cup at Golf Disneyland in Paris though the U.S. took the honors winning by a point, 12½ to 11½. Puig also represented the International team against the U.S. in the Arnold Palmer Cup in 2020 and 2021. He attended Arizona State University, arriving in 2019 as a Freshman and settled in as a member of the golf roster for Sun Devils. Although he cut short his time there in 2022 to pursue his dream of becoming a professional golfer, Puig wasn’t finished with his education. In August 2023 he posted a statement of appreciation for ASU, saying “A couple weeks ago I graduated from Arizona State University where I completed my last year online. “The three years I spent there were the best three years of my life where I had the best coaches and teammates anyone could ever ask for. “Even though I decided to turn professional, I wanted to finish my degree because I think it’s something that will last forever. “I am very happy to call Tempe my home and Arizona State University the best place where a golfer and student can go to pursue his dreams.” Puig continues to live in Arizona with long-term girlfriend Berta Sanchez.
