He is the most successful Japanese member of the PGA Tour in history, with six victories. He was born on 25 February 1992 in Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan. Matsuyama celebrates his birthday every 25th of February. Matsuyama stands at a height of 1.80 m (5 ft 11 in) and weighs 90 kg (200 lb). Hideki was introduced to gold by his father Mikio Matsuyama. However, he has not disclosed any further information on his family nor his siblings. Matsuyama went to Meitoku Gijuku Junior & Senior High School in Kochi Prefecture where he could also play golf. He also graduated from Tohoku Fukushi University in Sendai. Hideki is married to his lovely wife Mei. In their marriage, Matsuyama and his wife have been blessed with one wonderful daughter Kanna born in July 2017. Matsuyama and his wife held their wedding in January 2017, in a wonderful ceremony attended by their family and friends. Hideki turned professional in April 2013 and won his second tournament on the Japan Golf Tour, the 2013 Tsuruya Open. Matsuyama earned his third Japan Golf Tour win at the Diamond Cup Golf Tournament five weeks later. Matsuyama joined the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking after finishing in the top 10 at the 2013 U.S. Open. In September, he won the Fujisankei Classic, his fourth Japan Golf Tour tournament. In December, Matsuyama would win the Casio World Open for the seventh time on the Japan Golf Tour. Matsuyama became the first rookie to lead the Japan Tour’s money list with his victory. Matsuyama qualified for the PGA Tour in 2014 by earning money as a non-member. He recorded six top-25 performances in just seven PGA Tour events, including a T-6 at the 2013 Open Championship. At the 2014 Memorial Tournament, Matsuyama won for the first time on the PGA Tour, defeating Kevin Na in a playoff and climbing to a career-high OWGR ranking of 13th. Matsuyama finished in a tie for third place at the Olympic Games in August 2021. In a seven-man playoff for the bronze medal, he came up short. Matsuyama was tied for first place after 72 holes at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational the following week. Abraham Ancer birdied the second extra hole to beat him in the playoff. Hideki Matsuyama is a professional golf player from Japan who competes on the PGA Tour. He is the first Japanese professional golfer to win a major golf tournament, the Master’s Tournament, in 2021. Matsuyama has 15 career wins, eight career top-10 performances in major championships, and four Presidents Cup participation as of April 2021. He was born on 25 February 1992 in Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan. Hideki is married to his lovely wife Mei. In their marriage, Matsuyama and his wife have been blessed with one wonderful daughter Kanna born in July 2017. Little is known about Matsuyama’s personal life, so it was a shock when he announced back in July 2017 that he and his wife had just welcomed their daughter into the world. That he was married had been a complete unknown to that point especially considering neither of them were in attendance when Hideki won the 2021 Masters tournament. His wife’s name is Mei and his daughter’s name is Kanna. Speaking at the 2017 Northern Trust Open, Matsuyama addressed the news and revealed the simple reason why he’s been able to keep his private life out of the spotlight. “No one really asked me if I was married, so I didn’t have to answer that question,” the then 25-year-old said. “But I felt that after the [2017] PGA would be a good time, because our baby is born and I thought that would be a good time to let everyone know.” While, on the face of it, his form has dipped ever so slightly since starting a family of his own, Matsuyama insists he has no problem separating the two aspects of his life. “Golf is golf,” he said. “Once we get on the golf course, that’s what I’m thinking about.”
