Timothy Daniel Herron (born February 6, 1970) is an American professional golfer. He currently plays on the PGA Tour Champions. He was previously a member of the PGA Tour, where he was a four-time winner.

Early life Herron was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota. His father and grandfather, both named Carson Herron, were professional golfers who played in the U.S. Open.

Amateur career Herron was a 1992-1993 first team All-American at the University of New Mexico. He won the 1992 Minnesota State Amateur. Herron played on the 1993 Walker Cup team.

Professional career In 1993, Herron turned professional. He played on the Nationwide Tour in 1995, and the following season he won for the first time on the PGA Tour at the Honda Classic. He won three times in his first four seasons at the top level. Herron continued to play consistently after that, but there was a seven-year gap before he claimed his fourth PGA Tour title at the 2006 Bank of America Colonial. His best finish in a major championship is a solo 6th-place finish in the 1999 U.S. Open. In 2000, Herron was as high as 29th in the Official World Golf Rankings.

Herron has played in 560 PGA Tour events through 2019 and won more than $19.6 million during his career, but has not been fully exempt on the PGA Tour since 2012.

Personal life Herron resides in Wayzata, Minnesota with his three children: Carson, Mick, and Patrick. Carson, who also attended the University of New Mexico and turned professional in 2025, qualified for the 2025 John Deere Classic after surviving a 3-for-1 playoff.

Herron has a genetic condition called Dupuytren's contracture which also affected his father and sister. Herron's younger sister Alissa (married name Super) is also an accomplished golfer; she won the 1999 U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur title, won several Minnesota state titles, is a member of the Minnesota Golf Hall of Fame, and has served as her brother's agent.
