Wilshire became one of four qualifiers to earn their spot in the upcoming PGA Tour event, taking place from May 12 – 15 at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas. The event purse is just over 9 million dollars.

A member of the UCF men's golf team from 2010-14, Wilshire helped lead the Knights to a conference title in 2010-11, two NCAA Regional appearances in 2010-11 and 2013-14, and two NCAA Championship appearances in 2011-12 and 2012-13. He was on the Korn Ferry Tour in 2017, playing in 22 events.
