Morikawa made his debut as a professional at the 2019 RBC Canadian Open, where he tied for 14th place. On July 7, 2019, Morikawa tied for second at the 3M Open. On July 14, 2019, he tied for 4th at John Deere Classic. With that finish Morikawa locked up PGA Tour membership for the 2019-20 season.[7] Morikawa then won his first PGA Tour event two weeks later, at the Barracuda Championship – beating Troy Merritt by three points.[8]

On June 14, 2020, Morikawa tied for the lead of the 2020 Charles Schwab Challenge after 72 holes. This was the first PGA Tour tournament played after a three-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Morikawa missed a very short putt for par on the first playoff hole to lose to Daniel Berger.[9]
