Early life and amateur career

Waring was born in Birkenhead. He had a successful amateur career which included winning the English Amateur in 2005. [2]

Professional career

Waring turned professional in 2007 and had almost immediate success on the second-tier Challenge Tour when he lost out in a playoff to Felipe Aguilar at the Postbank Challenge in Germany. [3] He has since competed on the European Tour after gaining his card at that year's qualifying school. [4]

On the European Tour, Waring finished tied for third place in the 2013 Portugal Masters and the 2015 Maybank Malaysian Open.

In February 2017, Waring had his highest finish on the tour when he was runner-up in the Joburg Open. This event was one of the Open Qualifying Series events for the 2017 Open Championship, gaining him an entry to The Open for the first time since 2008. [5]

Waring earned his first European Tour win in his 200th start in August 2018. He won the Nordea Masters in Sweden, beating Thomas Aiken in a playoff. [6]

Waring won for the second time on the European Tour by winning the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in November 2024. He won by two shots ahead of Tyrrell Hatton. [7]
