Professional career

In 2012 he had his biggest success so far by winning the English Challenge. [3] His performances on the Challenge Tour gave him a card for the 2013 European Tour season. He had limited success on the 2013 European Tour and returned to the Challenge Tour in 2014. He qualified again for the main tour through Q-School in late 2014.

Since 2015 Paisley has played mostly on the European Tour. He finished third place in the 2015 BMW International Open, the 2016 Italian Open and the 2017 Made in Denmark.

In January 2018, Paisley had his first European Tour victory by winning the BMW SA Open. [4] The following week he finished fifth in the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, entering the world top-100 for the first time.
