He was one of the three rookies to win the 2017-18 season, along with Austin Cook and Japan's Tomohiro Kohei. He defeated Austin Cook, Koheichi, Keith Mitchell, and Joaquin Niemann in the election.

 A 22-year-old player from Las Vegas won his first victory on the US Tour at the AT&T Byron Nelson Championship, joining the ranks of Mackenzie Hughes and becoming the second player in history to win the Canadian Tour (during the US Tour certification era), Weber Net Tour, and US Tour. His victory is also the 500th victory that graduates of the Weber Network Tour have achieved on the US Tour.

As one of the eight rookies to qualify for the playoffs, Aaron Wise is the only player to make it to the season finale tour championship. He ranks 24th in the Federal Cup. During the 12 seasons of the Federal Cup, a total of 12 rookies made it to the Tour Championship, with 10 of them later elected as the Rookie of the Year.
