Cameron Young won The Players in March 2026, but the biggest change in his daily life may be happening far from the trophy stage. In an April 9 interview, Young said he and his wife, Kelsey Dalition, are raising three children under the age of five, a routine that leaves little room for the kind of quiet most of his PGA Tour peers still have.
Young said the difference is obvious when he looks at golfers around his age. “We have three kids, and some of the guys around my age are having their first or having a second,” he said. “For us, if I ever get to have one of our kids at a time, it’s a huge treat. They’re all amazing individually, and it’s only when they’re all together that it sometimes feels overwhelming.”
That life, he said, is built on the work Dalition does at home. “None of this is possible without my wife, Kelsey and my family,” Young said in a March 15 interview posted by the PGA Tour. “She works incredibly hard on all of our behalf.” He added that she “holds up that part of it at home and does it all on my behalf, so I can go do my job and chase my dreams.”
Young’s comments on April 9 offered a rare look at how the family handles the pace of elite golf. He said that once the children are asleep, he and Dalition clean up together downstairs, and that he tries to take in the time as much as he can because it does not last long. “Any moment after they’ve gone to sleep and it’s me and my wife downstairs cleaning up after the day, just to be grateful for that time that you get to spend because it is fleeting. And I’ve really tried to make sure that I enjoy it as much as I can,” he said.
The family’s low profile matches the way Young has handled his own public life. He has deleted his Instagram account, and Dalition is not known to have a public social media presence. Young said he had gotten “one too many negative messages” on Instagram and spent too much time on the app, which convinced him he was better off without it. “So for me, I felt like if it took me away from other things I could be doing for half an hour or an hour or two hours a day, I just felt like my time could be better spent elsewhere,” he said. “And getting rid of it all together, ultimately, quieted my mind.”
For Young, the result is a home life built around the same thing his golf career demands: focus. With three young children, a wife who keeps the household running and a major win behind him, the next question is less about whether he can handle the spotlight than how much of it he is willing to let into the rest of his life.
