Who is Adam Scott beyond the golf course? All you need to know about the Australian golfer chasing his second major
Adam Scott
remains firmly in contention at the 2025 US Open after an eventful Moving Day at
Oakmont Country Club
. The 44-year-old Australian carded a solid round to finish Saturday at 3-under-par, just one stroke behind leader Sam Burns, who leads at -4 going into the final round.
Scott shares second place with JJ Spaun, who also shot a 69 but dropped a shot late in the round. Burns and Spaun have been consistent throughout the tournament, with both avoiding three-putts entirely so far.
Scott will aim for his second major title since winning the 2013 Masters. Scott says his game feels tighter and more confident than it has all year.

This week also marks another milestone: Scott is teeing off in his 96th consecutive major. If he stays healthy and in form, he could reach 100 in a row, a feat only Jack Nicklaus has previously achieved. That streak began at the 2001 British Open and remains unbroken.
Besides these professional achievements, he's passionate about music, design, and photography, and he founded the
Adam Scott Foundation
to support youth education across Australia and Asia.

Here is more information about Scott's background, his upbringing, and his architect wife,
Marie Kojzar
.
Who is Adam Scott?
Born July 16, 1980, in Adelaide, Australia, Scott grew up playing various sports with his parents. Golf became his passion, guided by his father, Phil, a former aspiring pro. By 1997 and 1998, he'd already won the Australian Boys' Amateur twice.
He attended UNLV briefly and became a professional in 2000. He bagged his first professional title at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in 2001 and quickly added wins in Europe and America.
His major breakthrough came in 2004 with The Players Championship, and in 2013, he etched history as the first Australian to win the Masters. He briefly held world No. 1 in 2014 after winning The Colonial, securing 14
PGA Tour
victories and 11 European Tour wins overall.
Who is Marie Kojzar?
Adam Scott married Swedish architect Marie Kojzar in April 2014 in a private ceremony in the Bahamas. The couple first met in 2001, when Marie worked as a nanny for golfer Thomas Bjørn. After an on‑and‑off relationship through 2008, they reunited ahead of Scott's 2013 Masters win.
Marie studied architecture at the
Royal College of Art
in London and later worked in firms across Sweden and the UK. She is private, rarely seen on social media, but firmly at Adam's side through every tournament.
The couple has three children: daughter Bo Vera (born February 2015) and two sons, Byron and Bjorn. They live between their homes in the Bahamas, Switzerland, and Queensland.
How much did Adam Scott earn in his Golf career?
Scott has earned more than $81.2 million throughout his professional career, according to Spotrac. During this year's PGA Tour, he is estimated to have earned just under $1 million as he entered the U.S. Open in mid-June. His 15th-place finish at The Sentry earned him $292,000, which is his highest payday of 2025 so far.
Scott made news last year when he skipped Australian swing tournaments to focus on family and rest, opting to stay in Switzerland post‑European season.
