Professional career

In 2014, Gribble finished T8 at qualifying school to earn his Web.com Tour card, he finished 27th on the money list in 2015 failing to earn a PGA Tour card by $2,035, but retained his Web.com Tour card for another year. At the 2016 United Leasing & Finance Championship, Gribble was leading by one shot with two holes to play, but after a bogey-bogey finish, he ended the tournament T2, one shot behind eventual winner Séamus Power. [1]

In October 2016, Gribble won his first PGA Tour title at the Sanderson Farms Championship, an alternate event on the PGA Tour. He shot a seven-under final round 65 to win by 4 strokes. [2] Gribble became the 13th left-handed golfer to win a PGA Tour event and the first since Greg Chalmers won the 2016 Barracuda Championship.[ citation needed ]

Gribble gained media attention at the 2017 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill when he tapped an alligator on the tail that was sunning itself on the 6th fairway during the first round of tournament play. The alligator quickly scampered unharmed into a nearby pond. [3] [4]
