Born in Düsseldorf, West Germany, Kaymer turned professional at age 20 in 2005 and is a member of the European Tour. He has won eleven tournaments on the tour including four in 2010 to win for the first time the Race to Dubai, formerly the Order of Merit. Among those wins was the PGA Championship in the United States, which made him only the second German (after Bernhard Langer) to win a major championship. He also won the WGC-HSBC Champions to become the tenth player to win both a major title and a World Golf Championship event.
Kaymer sank a putt on the 18th hole on the final day of the Ryder Cup in 2012, which retained the cup for Europe and successfully overturned a four-point deficit against the United States at the start of the final day's play.
In May 2014, Kaymer won the The Players Championship, the flagship event of the PGA Tour. A month later, he led each round of the U.S. Open and won his second major by eight strokes.
