Professional Golfer (Ireland)

Profile

Name: John Murphy
Country: Ireland
Date of Birth: 11.06.1998
Turned Pro:
2021

The Irishman enjoyed a great first season after he turned professional in 2021. He made it through European Qualifying School in thrilling fashion in 2022 to earn his DP World Tour card.  

The Kinsale golfer struggled to maintain the great form that earned him a tour card, but he has since bounced back and is competing on the Challenge Tour. He has played a number of events in 2024 and will look to kick on for the rest of the season.    

Murphy enjoyed success on home soil when he won the 2021 NI Open at Cairndhu Golf Club when played on the Clutch Pro Tour. 

He closed out his amateur career in style representing Great Britain and Ireland in the 48th Walker Cup at Seminole Golf Club, Florida. Notable amateur wins include the St Andrews Links Trophy and four NCAA events when representing the University of Louisville. He also received the Byron Nelson award in 2020 while in college, which earned him a place into the 2022 AT&T Byron Nelson PGA Championship. 

Murphy is a Gaelic (GAA) fan back in Ireland and loves watching hurling and playing the odd game of chess.
