Curtis John Luck (born 9 August 1996)[1][2] is an Australian professional golfer from Cottesloe, Western Australia. In March 2017 he became the number one ranked amateur golfer in the world, heading the World Amateur Golf Ranking. He held that ranking before turning professional in April.

Golf career

Luck was runner-up at the 2014 Australian Amateur.[3] He also won the 2016 Western Australian Open on the PGA Tour of Australasia.[4]

Luck won the 2016 U.S. Amateur. He had previously planned to turn professional in October 2016, but decided to wait in order to retain his invitations in the 2017 Masters, U.S. Open and Open Championship.[5][6] He moved from seventh in the World Amateur Golf Ranking[7] to third with the win.[8]

Luck was awarded the Emerging Athlete of the Year at the 2016 Australian Institute of Sport Performance Awards.[9]

Luck later decided to turn professional at the 2017 Valero Texas Open, meaning he forfeited his U.S. Open and Open Championship exemptions.

In August 2020, Luck won the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship in Ohio on the Korn Ferry Tour.
