2021 Season

Played his best golf at the end of the season, posting a tie for third and a win in his final three starts—his second career PGA TOUR Latinoamérica triumph. Saw action in all eight Tour tournaments during the 18-month, extended season, making five cuts and finishing sixth on the Points List, moving up from 13th following his win.

• Bupa Championship presented by Volvo: Began the final round two strokes off the pace but shot a Sunday, 4-under 68 at PGA Riviera Maya in Tulum, Mexico, highlighted by four consecutive birdies starting at No. 11 to forge a tie at the end of regulation with Oscar Fraustro. In the overtime, buried a six-footer for par on the second extra hole to win on PGA TOUR Latinoamérica for the first time since winning the 2017 Honduras Open, also in a playoff, over Hank Lebioda. Win moved him to No. 6 on the final Points List, a mere 30 points behind No. 5 MJ Maguire.
• Holcim Colombia Classic presented by Volvo: Held a share of the 54-hole lead in Bucaramanga, Colombia, after opening 69-69-66 in mid-June. After making birdie at No. 4 in the final round, was 2-over the rest of the way to fall into a T3 with Rowin Caron, three shots behind winner Sam Stevens.

On the 16th hole, while Tuten was making birdie, he double bogeyed the hole, ending his chances at victory.
