Who’s Mito Pereira? Here are 5 things we can tell you about him

Mito Pereira PGA PGA Championship

TULSA, Okla. — Mito Pereira is a surprise contender at the 2022 PGA Championship.

For those friendly sports wagerers among us, he’s looking like a great longshot pick, as Tipico had him at +140000 to win at Southern Hills before the tournament started.

But golf fans have been hearing his name for a while. The PGA Tour rookie earned his card after getting promoted from the Korn Ferry Tour in June 2021 via the Three-Victory Promotion, the first to earn that since 2016 and 12th overall.

Pereira, who hails from Santiago, Chile, and grew up playing against Joaquin Niemann, is ranked 100th in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Here’s some other stuff you should know about him.
