As he competes at the Players Championship, Cameron Young will be cheered on by his family—including his wife Kelsey and their children.
His mom Barbara, said, “There have been a lot of life changes in about five years when you go from not having a tour card to all of a sudden getting your card and getting married and having three children. It’s quite remarkable to me that he’s been able to play at this level knowing everything he has on his plate, but he and Kelsey really seem to have a good handle on it, and they’re managing it well. It’s really great to see him playing like this right now, and to see what a great dad and husband he is, too. The fans don’t know that because he’s so quiet, but he’s a remarkable dad and husband, and we’re real proud of him for that.”
The couple are very private; neither have public social media accounts. Here, what to know about Cameron Young’s wife Kelsey Young (née Dalition):

Cameron and Kelsey knew each other from Garrison, New York but started dating while they were students at Wake Forest. “We’ve known her family since we lived in Garrison. I played hockey for her dad and with her brother,” Cameron said. “They’re not a golf family at all so Kelsey is kind of still learning the ropes. It’s actually great for me, because the last thing I want to do when I get home is answer questions like, ‘Why’d you pull a 9-iron on 16?’ That would make my head explode, so that’s been a blessing.”
Kelsey and Cameron married in 2021.
They tied the knot in March 2021. “When he’s on the golf course, he’s awfully focused,” his dad David said in June 2021. “Getting married helped. There’s another part of his life now that’s not attached to how well he plays every day. It’s been a joy to him and we’ve seen that in his personality. But on the golf course, he’s pretty well-focused and works really hard. It doesn’t look like he’s having much fun, but the results are fun.”

Cameron is focused on his family. “We have three kids, and some of the guys around my age are having their first or having a second,” he told Town & Country. “So you get the odd question, ‘What’s your biggest thing going from one to two, or from no kids to having your first one?’ And my main thing usually is: ‘You’ll figure it out.”’And two, just to really appreciate the times that you do get with just your wife or just even just one child, because it really is special. For us, if I ever get to have one of our kids at a time, it’s a huge treat. They’re all amazing individually, and it’s only when they’re all together that it sometimes feels overwhelming. But any moment after they’ve gone to sleep and it’s me and my wife downstairs cleaning up after the day, just to be grateful for that time that you get to spend because it is fleeting. And I’ve really tried to make sure that I enjoy it as much as I can.”
