Cameron Young went into Sunday’s tee off at the top of The Masters leaderboard. As he continues to shine on golf’s biggest stage, he’s had a steady presence behind the scenes in his wife, Kelsey Dalition. The two, who have known each other since childhood, built their relationship long before the spotlight, and, as Young’s career has taken off—from PGA Tour breakthrough moments to serious contention at The Masters—Dalition has remained a constant, helping keep life grounded as they raise their growing family together.
Young is coming off a huge win, finishing The Players Championship in first place. After securing the W, Young spoke to the media about the tournament and about his success in the sport.
“None of this is possible without my wife Kelsey and my family,” he told the Golf Channel last month. “She works incredibly hard on all of our behalf. I mean, it’s constant. They travel all the time, so 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 and Dalition tied the knot in March 2021 and have three children together; sons Henry and John and a daughter named Vivienne.
Although Dalition is very supportive of her husband’s career, she is notoriously private. However, she has always been there for her Young, even offering him some advice when it comes to his appearance. In 2023, for example, Dalition encouraged Young to shave his beard.
“Honestly, my wife just kind of said, why don’t you shave. It wasn’t like … I don’t think I looked terrible. I don’t know,” Young said at the time, according to Golf Digest. “Yeah, I haven’t been clean-shaven probably since our first son was born.”
Dalition, Henry, John, and Vivienne will be cheering Young on as he leaves it all at Augusta today.
