The incredible story of Andre Chi, who Monday Q'd into Valspar with $60 to his name

Andre Chi has dreamed of playing on the PGA Tour since he was 8 years old. He realized that dream Thursday morning.

Chi made his Tour debut at the 2025 Valspar Championship, earning his spot into the field via the Monday qualifier when he shot 67 in difficult conditions. And that was only the start of his incredible week.

Ryan French with Monday Q Info shared Chi's story on social media, including how Chi had only $60 in his account and had no idea what was next after making it through the qualifier. French shared his story, which is below:

As the social media posts share, French then posted Chi's Venmo for followers who wanted to help Chi out. By Tuesday, Chi had received more than $31,000 from fans supporting his journey.

If you're looking for someone to cheer for at the Valspar, Chi is an easy choice. Here's to hoping he has the week of his life.
