Amateur career

During his amateur career, Ferguson won the Boys Amateur Championship in 2013,[1] and is the only player to hold the British Boys title and both the Scottish Boys Matchplay and Strokeplay titles simultaneously.[2] Ferguson was a member of the 2015 Walker Cup Great Britain and Ireland team. In August 2016, he reached the quarter-finals of The Amateur Championship.[3]

Professional career

Ferguson turned professional in August 2016.[4][5]

In November 2017, Ferguson made the final stage of the European Tour Q-school and finished in 76th place. He then competed full-time on the Challenge Tour in 2018 and 2019, with a best finish of runner-up at the Euram Bank Open in 2019 and finished 25th in the 2019 Road to Mallorca Challenge Tour rankings. In 2019 he had a best finish on the European Tour of third place in the Belgian Knockout.[6] Covid hit before the start of the 2020 Challenge Tour season and so with a freeze on demotions and promotions from the Challenge Tour and European Tour, Ewen took advantage of his category and nearly managed to play a full European Tour schedule. Returning to the Challenge Tour in 2021 he was a runner-up three times and had three other top-10 finishes, he finished 8th in the Road to Mallorca Challenge Tour rankings, securing his full European Tour card for the first time.[7]

In March 2022, in only his 37th start, Ferguson claimed his first European Tour victory at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.[8] Ferguson's win makes him the first British winner of the DP World Tour era.
