Justin Rose
Justin Peter Rose (born 30 July 1980) is an English professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour and the European Tour. He is a former world number one in the Official World Golf Ranking.
At age 17, Rose came to prominence when he finished in fourth place as an amateur at the 1998 Open Championship. He turned professional the next day but struggled during his first few years on tour, making few cuts. He won his first European Tour title in 2002 and led the tour's Order of Merit in 2007. In the ensuing years, Rose won a number of notable tournaments on the PGA Tour, and claimed his first major championship at the 2013 U.S. Open. He earned a gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and reached the top of the world rankings for the first time in 2018. Rose has also recorded five runner-up finishes at major championships: the 2015, 2017 and 2025 Masters Tournaments, and the 2018 and 2024 Open Championships.
Rose was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, to English parents, Annie and Ken. The family moved to England when Rose was five, and he started to play golf at Tylney Park Golf Club. He then moved on to Southwood Golf Club, Hartley Wintney Golf Club, Royal Winchester Golf Club and finally North Hants Golf Club. All of these clubs were near his then home in Hook, Hampshire.
Rose broke 70 for the first time at the age of 11 and was a plus three handicap by 14.
Rose played in the Walker Cup in 1997 as a 17-year-old. Later in the year, Rose burst to worldwide prominence at the 1998 Open Championship held at Royal Birkdale Golf Club. He holed out for birdie from the rough from about 50 yards on the 18th hole to finish in a tie for fourth. He won the silver medal for the low amateur.
The day after his success at the 1998 Open Championship, Rose turned professional. Rose struggled badly in his early career. He missed the cut in his first 21 consecutive events, including the European Tour qualifying school in 1998. He earned his first European Tour card when he finished 4th at the qualifying school in 1999. The following season he failed to retain his card and had to revisit the qualifying school, where he finished 9th.
Despite his early career struggles, Rose's career soon began to take off and he became established on the European Tour. In 2001, he opened the season with consecutive second-place finishes in South Africa. He went on to finish the year in top-40 on the Order of Merit. He won his first professional event, the Dunhill Championship in South Africa, in 2002, and followed this up with three further victories in that year. They included another win in South Africa at the Nashua Masters, a win on the Japan Golf Tour at The Crowns Tournament, and then he won his second European Tour title at the Victor Chandler British Masters, edging out Ian Poulter in the final round.
In 2003, Rose reached number 33 in the Official World Golf Ranking. He earned enough money to claim his PGA Tour card as a non-member for 2004 after finishing with more money than the 125th ranked player on the money list. In 2004, he played mostly in America on the PGA Tour while also maintaining his membership on the European Tour. He did not have a great year and slipped out of the top 50 in the world rankings; however, he kept his tour card after earning in excess of a million dollars.
