Amateur career
Born in Edmond, Oklahoma, Tway attended Edmond North High School where he was named The Oklahoman's All-City Player of the Year in 2006 and 2007. He was a first-team American Junior Golf Association All-American in 2006 and was a second-team pick in 2005. He won the Oklahoma Class 6A individual title in 2006 and 2007. Tway won the 2005 U.S. Junior Amateur and advanced to the semifinals the following year.
Tway played college golf at Oklahoma State. In his freshman year, he won the NCAA Central Regional and was named honorable mention All-American, first-team All-Big 12 and was selected to the All-Central Region squad.
Tway qualified for the 2008 U.S. Open at Torrey Pines but he failed to make the cut by four strokes after posting rounds of 75 and 78. Tway lost in the round of 16 at the 2008 U.S. Amateur to Derek Fathauer.
Professional career
Tway turned professional in 2011 after graduating from Oklahoma State. He made his professional debut at the 2011 Travelers Championship, with his father caddying for him. He played on the Web.com Tour in 2013 and picked up his first win in July at the Albertsons Boise Open, defeating Spencer Levin on the first playoff hole with a birdie. Both had shot a tournament record 261 (–23). He finished fifth on the 2013 Web.com Tour regular season money list to earn his 2014 PGA Tour card. He made only eight cuts in 23 events and lost his PGA Tour card. He played on the Web.com Tour in 2015.
In 2017, Tway's season began with a slow start without having a top-30 finish in his first eleven starts, but in April, Tway knocked off three consecutive top-5s, finishing T3 at the Valero Texas Open, solo 3rd at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans (partnering with Kelly Kraft), and T5 at the Wells Fargo Championship. Tway also moved from 175th in the FedEx Cup to 55th in those events, virtually locking up his Tour card for the 2017–18 PGA Tour season.
