Jarvis turned professional in August 2022 and joined the Sunshine Tour, where he finished runner-up at the South African PGA Championship and The Tour Championship, and won the Rookie of the Year award. [5]

At age 19, he become the second youngest person to shoot a 59, in the third round of the 2023 Stella Artois Players Championship. [6]

Jarvis's results in Sunshine Tour events co-sanctioned by the Challenge Tour in early 2023 (including a second-place finish at the SDC Open) enabled him to play in further Challenge Tour events.
