William Harlan Haas (born May 24, 1982) is an American professional golfer who is currently a member of the PGA Tour.

Haas was born in Charlotte, North Carolina and was raised in Greer, South Carolina, a suburb of Greenville. He was the third member of his family to play golf at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina following his father, Jay, and uncle, Jerry. Haas had a distinguished college career. He was a three-time first-team All-American, four-time All-ACC, two-time ACC player-of-the-year, and 2001 ACC rookie-of-the-year. During his college career, he won ten college tournaments; and in his senior year of 2004, he won the Haskins Award, the Jack Nicklaus Award, and the Ben Hogan Award. He also set an NCAA record for lowest scoring average. Haas was a member of the 2003 Walker Cup team as well as two Palmer Cup teams. He turned professional in 2004.

Haas was a member of the Nationwide Tour in 2005 after failing to earn his PGA Tour card in Qualifying School. His best finish in a Nationwide Tour event was a solo 2nd at the 2005 Scholarship America Showdown.

Haas birdied the last two holes at the 2005 qualifying tournament to earn his card on the PGA Tour for the 2006 season. He has finished 99th, 104th, 104th again and 61st on the money list in his first four years on tour.

Haas and his father won the CVS Charity Classic in 2004. Haas comes from a distinguished family of golfers. He is a great nephew of 1968 Masters winner Bob Goalby, and has several other relations in golf including his father Jay, his uncle Jerry and his brother Jay Jr.

Haas picked up his first career PGA Tour win in 2010 at the Bob Hope Classic in La Quinta, California. A week prior to the event, Bill received advice from his father Jay and great-uncle Bob Goalby about his feet positioning in his swing. Haas won the event by a stroke over Matt Kuchar, Tim Clark and Bubba Watson.^[1]
