The 22-year-old from Sao Paulo, Brazil excelled at golf in his teenage years, taking home the Florida State Player of the Year award in 2016 while attending Club Med Academy in Port St. Lucie, FL. During his time at the University of Florida, Biondi collected six collegiate victories and four SEC Golfer of the Week accolades. In taking home the NCAA individual championship, and helping the Gators to the men’s team championship, Biondi became the first to win both titles since 2016. In 2022, he also finished as the runner up in the Latin America Amateur Championship, tying the tournament course record with a 65 in the third round.
Biondi has finished second in the most recent PGA Tour University rankings, earning him a full exemption on the Korn Ferry Tour for the remainder of the 2023 season, as well as entry to the Final Stage of the 2023 PGA Tour Q-School.
