Ryan Fox

Ryan Fox is a professional golfer from Auckland, New Zealand, born on 22 January 1987. He competes primarily on the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), and holds membership on the PGA Tour of Australasia. Fox comes from one of New Zealand's most celebrated sporting families: his father, Grant Fox, was the All Blacks fly-half who kicked the goals in the 1987 Rugby World Cup final, and his grandfather Merv Wallace was a New Zealand cricket international.

Fox turned professional in 2012 and spent several years developing his game on the Australasian circuit before breaking through on the European Tour. His first European Tour win came at the 2019 ISPS Handa World Super 6 Perth, making him the first New Zealander to win on that tour in a decade. He built steadily through the early 2020s, finishing second on the 2022 Race to Dubai and winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship that year. The 2023 BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth was his biggest result to that point: a final-round 67 gave him a one-shot victory and his first Rolex Series title. In 2025 he added two PGA Tour wins, taking the Myrtle Beach Classic in a playoff and following it one month later with a playoff victory at the RBC Canadian Open.

Fox is among the longer hitters on tour and his game is built around aggressive tee-to-green play complemented by an improved short game. In 2026 he competed at The Masters at Augusta National, missing the 36-hole cut after rounds of 77 and 72. At the PGA Championship at Aronimink he posted rounds of 70-70-72-69 to finish tied 35th, one over par.
