German golfer Stephan Jaeger turned pro in 2012, and has played on the Korn Ferry Tour, the PGA Tour Latinoamerica, and the PGA Tour. He is currently leading the 2024 Texas Children's Houston Open after the third round.
Stephan Jaeger was born on 30 May 1989, to Sophie and Klaus Jaeger and has one sister Michaela Jaeger. He was first introduced to golf at the age of 10 by his parents and began playing when he went on family vacations. However, Jaeger also takes a keen interest in soccer and volleyball.
Jaeger soon decided to start his career in golf and played collegiate golf at the University of Tennessee Chattanooga where he won four times. He played alongside the likes of Harris English and Keith Mitchell. When he first began his game, his coach Steve helped him to improve his skills and distance. Speaking via Golf Monthly, Jeager said:

"I just told Steve, I was one of the shortest and most crooked guys out here and I just kind of went, you know, like if I'm going to hit it in the rough, I might as well hit it far in the rough. So I ended up gaining a bunch of speed and hitting it straighter for some reason."
The 34-year-old golfer is married to Shelby Jaeger, and they have a son named Harrison.
