Malnati won his first PGA Tour event in November 2015, winning the Sanderson Farms Championship by one shot over William McGirt and David Toms following a Monday finish. He scored a five-under-par round of 67 to win by one stroke over a crowded leaderboard. Malnati’s victory earned him a PGA Tour exemption till the end of the 2018 season.
In 2013, Malnati earned a unique temporary membership on the Web.com Tour (equal to 100th on the previous season’s money list). At the News Sentinel Open, he won his fifth tournament of the 2013 season. He earned his 2014 PGA Tour card by finishing 18th on the Web.com Tour regular-season money list in 2013.
Malnati lost his PGA Tour card in 2014 after finishing 178th in the FedEx Cup points list, and he did not reclaim it at the Web.com Tour Finals. He returned to the Web.com Tour in 2015, winning his second tour title at the Brasil Champions on his way to placing fourth on the regular-season money list and recovering his PGA Tour card for the season.
