About Tom McKibbin

Born 2002. Tom McKibbin is a golfer.

Professional career McKibbin turned professional in April 2021 at the age of 18. He made his professional debut at the Tenerife Open on the European Tour, where he shot 70-70 and missed the cut.

McKibbin won his first professional event in January 2022 on the Minor League Golf Tour in Florida. He spent most of 2022 playing on the Challenge Tour. He was in contention to win at the Bain's Whisky Cape Town Open in February. A final-round 73 saw him miss out and finish tied-for-third. He also finished solo second at the Irish Challenge at the K Club in July. In November, at the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final, McKibbin shot a final-round 66 to finish tied-sixth and lift him to 10th place in the Challenge Tour Rankings, ultimately gaining a card for the 2023 European Tour season.

In February 2023, McKibbin held the 36-hole lead at the Singapore Classic on the European Tour. In June, McKibbin claimed his first win on the European Tour at the Porsche European Open in Germany. He shot a final-round 70 to win by two shots ahead of Julien Guerrier, Maximilian Kieffer and Marcel Siem.

McKibbin finished the 2024 European Tour season 18th place on the Race to Dubai, which was good enough to earn the last of the 10 available PGA Tour cards for 2025.

In January 2025, McKibbin joined LIV Golf for the 2025 season for a reported £4 million. He was signed onto Legion XIII, joining Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton and Caleb Surratt, also becoming the second Northern Irish player to play on LIV Golf alongside Graeme McDowell.
