May was born in Lynwood, California. He attended Oklahoma State University and was a member of the 1991 U.S. Walker Cup team before turning professional later that year.
May joined the PGA Tour in 1994. He has not won on the Tour, but he has finished second three times, including his epic playoff duel with Tiger Woods at the 2000 PGA Championship at Valhalla, and most recently at the 2006 B.C.
