Biography

EVENT: Men's Golf

Ryan Fox has competed at three editions of the Olympic Games.

In 2019 he won his first European Tour event, at the World Super 6 Perth, to become the first New Zealander to win on the European Tour in 10 years.

In February 2019, Fox won his first European Tour event, at the co-sanctioned ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth, beating Adrián Otaegui 3 and 2 in the final. He was the first New Zealander to win on the European Tour in 10 years since Danny Lee.

Fox won his second European Tour event in February 2022 at the Ras Al Khaimah Classic. He shot 22-under-par for four rounds, beating Ross Fisher by five shots.

Having recorded 10 Top-10s during the 2022 season, Fox found himself lying in second position in the DP World Tour Rankings heading into the final event; the DP World Tour Championship. With a 19th-place finish at the season finale, it was good enough to see Fox maintain his second place in the rankings, finishing only behind Rory McIlroy.

In May 2023, Fox earned special temporary membership on the PGA Tour. In September 2023, Fox won the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. He shot a final-round 67, including an up-and-down birdie on the final hole to win by one shot over Tyrrell Hatton and Aaron Rai. It was also his first Series title.

Fox enjoys fishing in his spare time and being out on the water.
