During the next seven years, the golfer competed on the mini-tours including the Gateway Tour, NGA Hooters Tour, and National Pro Tour. Finau played on the PGA Tour Canada in 2013, making seven cuts in eight starts. He finished T-3 at the 2013 Web.com Tour qualifying school to earn his Web.com Tour card for 2014.

Tony Finau LDS

Tony Finau is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). When people hear that Finau is a Mormon, they’re often surprised.

“I hear people say things like, ‘Oh, wow, I wouldn’t think that you’re a member or Mormon, or anything like that. Some people hear different things about Mormons and what we do, what we believe,” said Finau. “So, I think it’s a compliment to me.”

The Word of Wisdom, a law of health in the LDS faith prohibiting the use of alcohol and tobacco, has made Tony stand out in his professional career.

“I made that decision a really long time ago that [alcohol] was not for me,” said the three time PGA Tour winner. “I think people look at it as, ‘Oh my goodness, you’re not having fun.’ But I think it’s really cool you can have fun without being intoxicated by anything … understanding the Word of Wisdom, knowing why that’s in place and believing in latter-day revelation as a Mormon has been everything to me.”
