Amateur career

During his amateur career, Ferguson won the Boys Amateur Championship in 2013, [2] and is the only player to hold the British Boys title and both the Scottish Boys Matchplay and Strokeplay titles simultaneously. [3] Ferguson was a member of the 2015 Walker Cup Great Britain and Ireland team. In August 2016, he reached the quarter-finals of The Amateur Championship. [4]

Professional career

Ferguson turned professional in August 2016. [5] [6]

In November 2017, Ferguson made the final stage of the European Tour Q-school and finished in 76th place.

He then competed full-time on the Challenge Tour in 2018 and 2019, with a best finish of runner-up at the Euram Bank Open in 2019 and finished 25th in the 2019 Road to Mallorca Challenge Tour rankings. In 2019 he had a best finish on the European Tour of third place in the Belgian Knockout. [7]

The COVID19 pandemic hit before the start of the 2020 Challenge Tour season and so with a freeze on demotions and promotions from the Challenge Tour and European Tour, Ferguson took advantage of his category and nearly managed to play a full European Tour schedule.

Returning to the Challenge Tour in 2021 he was a runner-up three times and had three other top-10 finishes, he finished 8th in the Road to Mallorca Challenge Tour rankings, securing his full European Tour card for the first time. [8]

In March 2022, in only his 37th start, Ferguson claimed his first European Tour victory at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. [9]

Ferguson won his second European Tour event in August 2022 at the ISPS Handa World Invitational. He shot an opening-round 61 to eventually win wire-to-wire. [10] A month later, he finished second at the Made in HimmerLand in Denmark; one shot behind Oliver Wilson. [11]

In July 2024, Ferguson won his third European Tour event at the BMW International Open.
