Hey everyone, it’s your boy back again with another deep dive into the world of, well, random stuff I get curious about. Today’s subject? Professional golfer Jhonattan Vegas. I stumbled upon his name the other day and thought, “Who is this guy?” More specifically, I got stuck on the question: “What nationality is Jhonattan Vegas?”
So, I did what any normal person would do – I started digging. First, I hit up the usual spots. You know, the big sports websites and some general search engine.
Finding Basic Info
I started with a simple search, and it gave me the basics pretty fast. Turns out, Jhonattan Vegas is a Venezuelan professional golfer. Born on August 19, 1984, in a place called Maturín, Venezuela. Alright, cool, that was easy.
Digging Deeper
But I wasn’t satisfied with just knowing his nationality. I wanted to know more about the guy. I found out he plays on the PGA Tour, which is a big deal. He’s actually the only Venezuelan to have a PGA tour card, win a PGA tour event, represent his country in the Presidents Cup, or the Olympics. This guy’s a trailblazer!

Family and Early Life
I tried to learn more about his personal life, too. Some places mentioned he has three brothers, and they all got into golf together with their parents. Apparently, he grew up in Venezuela and started playing golf there. I gotta say, the image of them all playing golf together is pretty awesome.
Going Pro
From what I could gather, Vegas turned pro in 2008. He even played in a PGA event that year – the Texas Open – and made the cut, which is impressive for a newbie. Before that, he had some success in junior tournaments and even played in the 2003 Houston Open as an amateur.
Making a Name
The information trail gets a bit fuzzy around here, but it seems like he’s been steadily making a name for himself in the golf world. I did find out his younger brother, Julio, also plays golf and even won the 2012 NCAA Team Championship. Seems like golf runs in the family!
