Eichhorn has successfully open qualified into five Korn Ferry Tour events the last two seasons, and qualified for the 2025 Korn Ferry Tour Finals despite not having membership. Eichhorn, who grew up playing a nine-hole course in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, played five seasons at Marquette University (2017-22), where he was a three-time BIG EAST Conference Player of the Year (2018, 2021, 2022).
