David Gossett

David Spencer Gossett (born April 28, 1979) is an American professional golfer and real estate agent. He played on the PGA Tour winning one tournament.

In 1979, Gossett was born in Phoenix, Arizona. His father introduced him to the game of golf and he competed in his first tournament at age 10. He went to Germantown High School in Germantown, Tennessee. He was part of the IMG golf academy in Bradenton Florida (it was then called, David Leadbetter Golf Academy).

Gossett attended the University of Texas and was a two-time first-team All-American member of the golf team. In 1999, he won the U.S. Amateur, the Big 12 Championship, and was the Big 12 Student-Athlete of the Year in 1999. He was also a member of the Walker Cup team in 1999.

In 2000, Gossett turned professional. As winner of the U.S. Amateur, Gossett was supposed to play in 2000 U.S. Open in the same group as defending champion Payne Stewart but Stewart perished in a plane crash in October 1999.

Gossett won his first official PGA Tour event in 2001 at the John Deere Classic. However, he didn't stay at champion level. Gossett lost his fully exempt status in 2004 and had to split his playing time between the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour afterwards.

In the early 2010s, Gossett spent the early part of the decade trying to get back on the PGA Tour through the Web.com Tour and the Adams Pro Tour. Gossett qualified for the 2014 U.S Open, his first since 2000. Gossett also played in the John Deere Classic and the Barracuda Championship, but missed the cut in both.

Gossett is currently a commercial real estate agent in Nashville, Tennessee.

In 1999, while at the University of Texas at Austin, Gossett earned Big 12 Student-Athlete of the Year honors.
