Professional career

In June 2023, Biondi turned professional and gained membership on the Korn Ferry Tour thanks to his second-place ranking in the PGA Tour University program.

His first Korn Ferry Tour event was the BMW Charity Pro-Am, where he made the cut and finished tied for 31st place.

In September 2023, Biondi played in his first PGA Tour event, receiving a sponsors invite to compete in the Fortinet Championship, where he missed the cut.
