Dahmen was born in Clarkston, Washington. He was a two-time Washington Interscholastic Activities Association 3A state golf champion at Clarkston High School, and played one year for the Washington Huskies.[2]

Professional career

Dahmen played on PGA Tour Canada from 2010 to 2013 without much success. In 2014, however, he won twice and won the Order of Merit to gain his Web.com Tour card for 2015.[3] He also played three events on PGA Tour Latinoamérica in late 2014, finishing tied for second in two of them.[4]

On the Web.com Tour in 2015, Dahmen made the cut in 12 of 25 events, including three top-10 finishes. He advanced to the Web.com Tour Finals but failed to earn a PGA Tour card. Returning to the Web.com Tour in 2016, he made 13 cuts in 20 events in the regular season including two tied for third finishes. He earned his PGA Tour card for 2017 by finishing 25th on the money list by $975.[5]

On the 2016–17 PGA Tour season, Dahmen finished 176 in the FedEx Cup rankings with his best finish being a T9. He finished 24th in the Web.com Tour Finals and regained his PGA Tour card for the 2017–18 season.

At the 2019 Wells Fargo Championship, Dahmen finished second to Max Homa, who got his first career PGA Tour win by 3 strokes.[6][7]
