Career

Percy was born in Chelsea, Victoria. In 1998, he turned professional. In 2005, Percy joined the second-tier Nationwide Tour but enjoyed little success. He returned to Australia where he won twice on the developmental Von Nida Tour in 2006. [1]

Percy was back on the Nationwide Tour in 2008 and the following year finished in 8th place on the money list, having had eight top 10 finishes including two runner-up finishes, to graduate to the PGA Tour for 2010. [2]

Percy has since bounced back-and-forth between the PGA Tour and the Korn Terry Tour. He finished 168th on the FedEx Cup points list in 2010, 161st in 2011, and 158th in 2013. In 2014, he prevailed in a five-way playoff to win the Price Cutter Charity Championship on the Web.com Tour. He finished 15th on the final 2014 Web.com Tour money list to secure his PGA Tour card for the 2014–15 season. [3] [4]

Over the next six seasons (2014–15 through 2020–21 seasons), he finished outside of the top 125 on the FedEx Cup points list every year, and thus was not able to retain his card. However, he finished inside the top 150 in four of those six seasons, and thus maintained conditional status on the PGA Tour during most of that time. [4]
