Join us in welcoming PGA TOUR and LPGA players Ben An, Michael Kim, and Gabi Ruffels to Team AvidXchange. Whether supporting them from afar or refining your swing at our exclusive events, we’re excited to have these professional golfers represent AvidXchange on and off the course.
At just 17, Ben etched his name in history as the youngest-ever winner of the U.S. Amateur Championship. Wasting no time, he made his PGA TOUR debut the following year and turned professional in 2011. His rise was swift—claiming his first pro title on the Challenge Tour at the Rolex Trophy. Ben’s career is studded with remarkable achievements, including a breakthrough victory at the 2015 BMW PGA Championship, which earned him the coveted Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year honor on the European Tour. He continued to make waves with a win at the Korn Ferry Tour’s LECOM Suncoast Classic in 2022 and earned another career victory at the 2024 Genesis Championship.
Beyond individual triumphs, Ben has proudly represented South Korea on the world stage, competing in two Olympic Games—Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and Paris in 2024. He has also been a key force for the International Team at the Presidents Cup, contributing in both 2019 and 2024.
Before turning pro, Michael Kim played collegiate golf at the University of California-Berkley where he received numerous awards including the Haskins Award, Nicklaus Award, and competed as a member of the Walker and Palmer Cup Teams. Michael joined the PGA TOUR in 2015 and won the 2018 John Deere Classic finishing with a record-breaking score of 27-under par.
His consistent scoring averages, driving accuracy and putting skills make him a formidable player to watch. If Michael wasn’t playing professional golf, he aspires to be an analyst for ESPN.
A former tennis player turned golfer, Gabi played collegiate golf for the University of Southern California. Gabi has played in 22 LPGA TOUR events since 2019, making the cut in 14 of them and earning a best finish of T13 at the 2020 U.S. Women’s Open. In those 22 tournaments, she has recorded 16 rounds in the 60s, the best of which was a 7-under 65 at the 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Atlanta Athletic Club. Her first professional win came at the 2023 Carlisle Arizona Women’s Golf Classic on the Epson Tour.
Gabi became the first Australian to win the Epson Tour Player of the Year Award in 2023, cementing her LPGA TOUR card for the 2024 season.
