Professional career

After reaching the final stage of the European Tour Qualifying School in 2017 but failing to qualify, Brown played a limited schedule on the Challenge Tour in 2018 but made only two cuts in 13 events. From 2019 to 2021, Brown played on the PGA EuroPro Tour. In 2021, he tied for second in the season-ending event and finished fourth in the Order of Merit, earning a return to the Challenge Tour. [2] He finished 30th in the 2022 Challenge Tour rankings, highlighted by a runner-up finish at the Hopps Open de Provence in October. [3] In November, Brown finished third at the European Tour Qualifying School to claim a European Tour card for the 2023 season. [4]

In August 2023, Brown claimed his first win on the European Tour at the ISPS Handa World Invitational in Northern Ireland. He won wire-to-wire, five shots ahead of Alex Fitzpatrick. [5]

In July 2024, he made his major championship debut at the 2024 Open Championship after earning a place in the field through final qualifying, and had the lead after the first round after a bogey-free 65. [6]

In July 2025, Brown won the BMW International Open by two shots over Jordan Smith. [7]
