In the 2023 season, Ramey was the 18-hole leader in the 2023 Players Championship, shooting a 64 in the first round. He eventually finished the event in a share of 27th place and finished the season 118th in the FedEx Cup Standings. ^[4].

In April 2024, Ramey and his partner Martin Trainer shot a final round 63 to take the lead of the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

Playing Style

Ramey is known for his considerably abbreviated follow through in his swing where he keeps his head very steady and does not raise it up even after impact, hence his nickname: Side Eye.
