Daniel Brown is a young Englishman who has won twice on the DP World Tour, and led in his first major championship.
Born in October 1994 in Northallerton, Yorkshire, Brown took up golf from an early age, and had a relatively successful amateur career. He went on to win twice on the Evolve Pro Tour in just his second year as a professional, but struggled on the Challenge Tour over the next couple of years.
The Englishman went on to graduate to the DP World Tour for the 2023 thanks to finishing in the top three at Q School, and he would claim his first win on a major tour that year. That came at the ISPS Handa World Invitational, where he won by five shots. He went on to win for a second time on the DPWT in 2025, taking victory at the BMW International Open in Germany.
On the grandest of stages, his first major appearance came at the 2024 Open Championship, where he led the field after the opening round, eventually going on to record a top ten finish.
