Penge was born in Horsham on 15 May 1998,[4] to Marie and Angelo Penge.[5] His father Angelo, an aerial engineer, was born in Italy.[6] Penge showed talent in football as a child. He was a prolific goalscorer for Chesworth Rovers in Horsham, and received trials with Reading F.C. and Southampton F.C.. Influenced by his Italian father, Penge stated in 2014 that he supported Italy rather than England in that year's World Cup.[7]
Penge turned professional in 2017 and joined the PGA EuroPro Tour.[11] In 2019 he won his first title, the Prem Group Irish Masters, and finished third on the Order of Merit to earn promotion to the 2020 Challenge Tour.[12]
In December 2024, Penge received a three-month ban from competing in European Tour events for breaching the tour's "Integrity Programme" in relation to betting on golf tournaments.[16][17] From 2022 to 2023, he had placed bets with an average stake of £24. He made a profit of around £250 on these wagers, and the bookmaker subsequently notified the tour of his activity. None of Penge's bets were placed on tournaments in which he played.[6]
After his return from suspension, Penge finished third at the South African Open in March. The following month, he shot 17-under 271 to win the Hainan Classic by three shots over Sean Crocker and Kristoffer Reitan. This was Penge's first victory on the European Tour.[18] The win came in his 47th start on the tour and moved him from 344th to 194th in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR).[19]
He recorded his second victory at the Danish Golf Championship in August 2025, defeating Rasmus Højgaard by one stroke.[3] With the win, Penge moved to a new high of 73rd in the OWGR.[20]
Personal life
In 2016, Penge won the Sunningdale Foursomes with his girlfriend and fellow golfer Sophie Lamb.[21] They married in 2023 and had their first child in 2024.[22]
