James Robert Herman (born November 5, 1977) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.

Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio,[2] Herman learned to play golf at the Shawnee Lookout course in Hamilton County.

A final round of 65 at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans in 2015, moved him into a tie for fourth, a career best finish at the time.

After Stenson missed a putt to tie Herman, he successfully two putted the final green for the win and earned an invitation to the following week's Masters Tournament, an event he then played for his first time.

former President Donald Trump, the course owner, encouraged Herman to chase his dream of playing professionally.

He started the next season with a Major Medical Extension, but did not meet the terms and was demoted to the Past Champions Category.
