1. Higgs was born on the 4th of December 1991 in Camden, New Jersey. He then grew up in Kansas as well as Philadelphia before moving to Texas.
2. His time in Philadelphia must have made quite the impression because despite living in Dallas, Higgs is a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles football team, which is a direct rival to the Dallas Cowboys.
3. As a youngster he loved playing baseball but eventually had to choose between playing that or golf. He chose golf and the rest is history.
4. He went to Southern Methodist University (SMU) and studied Sport Management up until 2014. Whilst there he played on the golf team alongside Bryson DeChambeau and Kelly Kraft.

5. Higgs has his brother Alex on the bag and they played on the same golf team at SMU. According to PGA Tour.com, Alex had a stint as a professional golfer before regaining his amateur status and began serving as caddie in February 2020.
6. Higgs turned professional in 2014.
7. He once missed a week of high school at the age of 17 to play on the Korn Ferry Tour.
8. His maiden professional victory came at the 2018 Peru Open on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica.
9. In 2018 he won the PGA Tour Latinoamerica Order of Merit title to earn full Korn Ferry Tour status the next year. He then managed to win a tournament that season to come 5th in the season-ending standings and earn his PGA Tour card.
10. His dad taught him and his brother how to play golf but Higgs didn't actually have a lesson until his freshman year of high-school.
11. He has said that if he wasn't a professional golfer, he would like to run for political office, whether it be senator, governor or president.
12. Higgs has played several holes with former President George W Bush. They did so at Preston Trails GC in Dallas.
Speaking to the PGA Tour Higgs said of the experience; "He’s good. He’s really good. Kelly Kraft and a few other Dallas-based guys have played 18 holes with him and they say he’s hard to beat. He’s not ashamed to get one or two too many strokes, but how are you supposed to say no to someone who served our country for that long? That’s the least you can do. If you’re playing him for a Coke, it’s like, “OK, I’ll buy you a Coke, Mr. President.”
13. His drink of choice is vodka and water. His favourite brand seems to be Tito's Vodka.
14. Higgs currently resides in Dallas, Texas.
15. He finished T4th at the 2021 PGA Championship at Kiawah Island in his first ever Major start. He shot a bogey-free final round of 70 (-2).
16. His home course in Dallas is Trinity Forest Golf Club.
17. During tournament weeks, he often house-shares with Kelly Kraft, Keith Mitchell, JT Poston and Sepp Straka (and their caddies).
18. According to his PGA Tour bio, Higgs does not like long dinners and prefers to order in or get room service as opposed to going out to eat.
19. Higgs' girlfriend is Kailee Kuehn.
20. He is said to have he invited around 50 family and friends to watch his Masters debut in 2022.
