Anthony Walter Simonsen (born January 6, 1997) is an American professional ten-pin bowler. He has been a member of the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) since 2014. Simonsen became known in bowling fan circles early in the 2016 season, when he earned the distinction as the youngest player in history to win a PBA major championship (USBC Masters). He is now the youngest player in history to own five major PBA Tour titles. He uses the two-handed shovel-style delivery with a dominant right hand. At age 25, Simonsen eclipsed $1 million in career PBA earnings during the 2022 season.[1] Simonsen has also bowled internationally as a multi-year member of Team USA.
Simonsen is a pro staff member for Roto Grip bowling balls and Vise Grips finger inserts.[2] A native of Little Elm, Texas, Simonsen resides in Las Vegas, Nevada.
