Joseph James "J.J." Killeen (born October 22, 1981) is an American professional golfer.
Killeen was born in San Diego, California.[1] He played college golf at Texas Christian University.[1][2] He turned professional in 2005.
Killeen played on mini-tours, including the Tight Lies Tour (winning once) and the NGA Hooters Tour before joining the Nationwide Tour in 2008.[3]
Killeen made it to the final round of 2010 Q School, but missed earning a tour card by a single stroke.
Killeen won his first Nationwide Tour event in 2011 at the Utah Championship.[4] He won again the following week at the Cox Classic in Nebraska. Killeen ended the 2011 season as the top money earner on the Nationwide Tour, which grants him a full-season exemption on the PGA Tour for 2012, a spot in The Players Championship, and exemption from the reshuffle. He was also voted the Nationwide Tour Player of the Year.
After his touring career ended, Killeen became a club professional out of the Northern Texas section of the PGA. He was one of twenty club pros to qualify for the 2023 PGA Championship.
