Aaron Pike (born 11 November 1985) is an Australian professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour of Australasia. He won the 2018 Victorian PGA Championship and 2020 Northern Territory PGA Championship.

Early life and amateur career

Pike was born in Karratha, Western Australia and moved to Darwin, Northern Territory as a 7-year old. In 2003, at 17, he moved to Jimboomba just south of Brisbane to attend Hills International College, where he was a schoolmate of Jason Day. ^[1]

In 2006, Pike won the Victorian Amateur Championship and qualified for the Australian Masters at Huntingdale Golf Club, a European Tour event, where he finished solo 4th three strokes behind winner Justin Rose. ^[2]

Professional career

Pike turned professional in 2007 but did not join the PGA Tour of Australasia until 2012 as his career was plagued by injury, including requiring a shoulder reconstruction in 2010. He also experienced nerve damage in the back, and in 2019 he had a recurring tennis elbow injury to fight. ^[1]

Pike was runner-up in the 2016 Western Australia PGA Championship, and his breakthrough came in 2018 when he won the Victorian PGA Championship at Cape Schanck on the Mornington Peninsula. ^{[3] [4]}

In 2019, he held the co-lead with Keegan Bradley at the Emirates Australian Open and ultimately tied for 3rd, which earned him a start in the 2021 Open Championship at Royal St George's Golf Club. ^[5]

Pike won his second title at the 2020 Northern Territory PGA Championship, and a third after a playoff with Momoka Kobori at TPS Hunter Valley in 2021, to finish 5th in the 2021–22 PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit. ^[6]
