Early years and amateur career
Malnati was born in New Castle, Indiana and grew up in Dandridge, Tennessee, where he attended Jefferson County High School. He played college golf at the University of Missouri.[1] He turned professional in 2009.
Professional career
Malnati played on mini-tours until earning Special Temporary Membership on the Web.com Tour (equivalent to 100th on the previous season's money list) in 2013. He won the seventh tournament of the 2013 season at the News Sentinel Open.[2][3] He finished 18th on the 2013 Web.com Tour regular-season money list to earn his 2014 PGA Tour card.
In 2014, Malnati finished 178th in the FedEx points list on the PGA Tour and he was 86th in the Web.com Tour Finals list. He lost his playing privileges for the PGA Tour and dropped back down to the Web.com Tour for the 2015 season. Malnati then rejoined the PGA Tour after finishing fourth on the 2015 Web.com Tour regular-season money list, which included his second victory on the tour at the Brasil Champions event.
On November 9, 2015, Malnati earned his maiden PGA Tour victory by winning the Sanderson Farms Championship by one stroke over William McGirt and David Toms during a Monday finish to the tournament. He shot a five under round of 67 to come from one behind to take the victory over a crowded leaderboard. The win earned Malnati a tour level exemption through to the end of the 2017 season.
