Marcus Armitage

It was his dad that got him into golf. He grew up on a farm and when he was young would practice with his clubs. When his mother died golf became an escape for him and he played a lot after that.
Armitage earned rookie of the year honors on the 2013 PGA EuroPro Tour. He also won on tour as part of fourteen total victories for the year. Over the 2014 season, Armitage reworked his swing. Armitage won twice on the 2015 PGA EuroPro Tour, finished fourth in the money list, and earned his tour card for the 2016 Challenge Tour.
Armitage won the 2016 Foshan Open on the Challenge Tour. He was also a runner-up in the Irish Challenge and finished 11th in the Order of Merit to earn his tour card for the 2017 European Tour.
Armitage had a disappointing season in 2017 and lost his card on the main tour.
