Alejandro Tosti (born 30 May 1996) is an Argentine professional golfer who plays on Korn Ferry Tour.
Amateur career
Tosti had a successful amateur career and was low amateur at the 2012 Open de Argentina with a score of 69–73–69–70. He was runner-up at the 2013 South American Junior Championship, and the 2015 Latin America Amateur Championship with a score of 69–70–68–71.[2]
He represented Argentina at the 2014 Eisenhower Trophy, where his team finished 5th and he finished runner-up individually, 3 strokes behind Jon Rahm.[3] He won bronze medal (mixed team) at the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto, Canada, and was a semi-finalist at The Amateur Championship in 2017.[2]
Tosti attended the University of Florida between 2014 and 2018, where he played with the Florida Gators men's golf team. He was an All-American and won three tournaments, including the individual conference championship in 2017, the first Gator since Billy Horschel in 2009.[4]
Professional career
Tosti turned professional after graduating in 2018 and joined the PGA Tour Latinoamérica. In 2019 he won his first title, and in 2022 he won a second title and finished 5th in the Order of Merit, to earn graduation to the Korn Ferry Tour.[5]
He gained media attention after accepting a shuttle ride, believing it was an official courtesy car, from the 18th green to the first tee mid-round at the LECOM Suncoast Classic, receiving a two-shot penalty for breaking an obscure model local rule that says players may not use transportation during a round.[6]
