      • David Puig Currius (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpuːʒ]; born 7 December 2001) is a Spanish professional golfer. He cut short his college career to join LIV Golf in 2022.


      Amateur career


      Puig had a successful junior career and played for Spain in the Junior Golf World Cup in Japan, where he won silver in 2018 and bronze in 2019. He represented Europe in the 2018 Junior Ryder Cup. Puig finished third at the 2021 European Amateur, behind Christoffer Bring and Ludvig Åberg.
      In 2019, Puig enrolled at Arizona State University and started playing college golf with the Arizona State Sun Devils men's golf team. Playing in just his fifth collegiate stroke play tournament, he won the 2021 Southwestern Invitational by a record nine-strokes, and then defended his title in 2022.
      Puig also played in the Arnold Palmer Cup in 2020 and 2021, finishing both events with an individual result of 3–1. He was awarded Catalan Player of the Year in 2021 by the Catalan Association of Golf Journalists.
      In 2022, Puig's Sun Devils team advanced to the final match at the NCAA Championship. He was invited to the inaugural tournament of the LIV Golf Invitational Series at Centurion Club, along with fellow amateur Ratchanon Chantananuwat.


      Professional career


      Puig turned professional in September 2022. He joined LIV Golf, making his first appearance as a professional in the LIV Golf Invitational Chicago, having previously played in two events as an amateur. He also joined the Asian Tour. In his first event on the tour, the inaugural International Series Morocco at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam, he held the third round lead before ultimately finishing solo third two strokes behind Jazz Janewattananond.
      Puig became a member of the Torque GC team for the 2023 LIV Golf League, alongside Joaquín Niemann, Sebastián Muñoz, and Mito Pereira. He was the youngest player on the 2023 LIV Golf roster. Torque won the team events in Orlando, Washington, Andalusia and Greenbrier. In October 2023, he recorded his first win as a professional, at the International Series Singapore tournament on the Asian Tour, where he led wire-to-wire and won by five strokes.
