Biography

Tom McKibbin (born 19 December 2002) is a Northern Irish professional golfer who currently plays on the European Tour, where he has won once. He grew up playing golf at Holywood Golf Club, the same home club as Rory McIlroy.

Amateur career

In January 2020, McKibbin made it to the final of the Australian Amateur at Royal Queensland. However, he was defeated 5 and 3 by Jediah Morgan.

Professional career

McKibbin turned professional in April 2021 at the age of 18. He made his professional debut at the Tenerife Open on the European Tour where he missed the cut.

McKibbin won his first professional event in January 2022 on the Minor League Golf Tour in Florida. He spent most of 2022 playing on the Challenge Tour. He was in contention to win at the Bain's Whisky Cape Town Open in February. A final-round 73 saw him miss out and finish tied-for-third. He also finished solo second at the Irish Challenge at the K Club in July. In November, at the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final, McKibbin shot a final-round 66 to finish tied-sixth and lift him to 10th place in the Challenge Tour Rankings, ultimately gaining a card for the 2023 European Tour season.

In February 2023, McKibbin held the 36-hole lead at the Singapore Classic on the European Tour. In June, McKibbin claimed his first win on the European Tour at the Porsche European Open in Germany. He shot a final-round 70 to win by two shots ahead of Julien Guerrier, Maximilian Kieffer and Marcel Siem.
