Daniel Brown player profile

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.

Matt got into the game of golf from a young age, following his old man to the local golf club. He fell for the sport, and now can’t seem to go a day without thinking about how to improve his game (Thanks Dad!). Matt has been a member of Howley Hall GC in Leeds since 2020, and is just about managing to maintain a single-figure handicap. He likes to remind people that he once broke 75, but won’t tell people that it was on a shortened course during the winter.

He moved to Leeds after graduating from the University of Central Lancashire with a First Class Honours degree in Sports Journalism. Matt joined NCG after almost five years travelling the world with the Professional Squash Association, working on events in all four corners of the globe.

Matt currently plays a Cobra King LTDx driver and RadSpeed 3-wood. TaylorMade monopolise the rest of his bag, with a SIM UDI, M5 irons and both Milled Grind and HI-TOE wedges, along with a Monza Redline putter. He uses a Vice Pro Plus golf ball, because he’s a bit different…

Away from golf, Matt is a Manchester United fan, and a keen runner, having ran the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon (his first and possibly last), in May 2023.
