Paul Waring is an Englishman who has won twice on the DP World Tour, with those wins coming six years apart.

Born in February 1985 in Birkenhead in the northwest of England, Waring was destined for a sporting life thanks to his mother – a swimmer for England during her younger days. He was introduced to the game of golf by his grandfather, and went on to turn professional in 2007, earning his European (now DP World) Tour card that same year via the Q-School route.

The Englishman would have to wait more than a decade before securing his maiden professional victory. It would come in his 200th European Tour event, at the Nordea Masters in 2018. Another six years would follow before his second win, and what is the biggest of his career to date. He was victorious at the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship, the first event of the DP World Tour Playoffs in 2024, beating fellow Englishman Tyrrell Hatton by two shots.

Mention a European country, and Matt will tell you which resorts make the National Club Golfer Top 100s: European Resorts list. He might even throw in who designed the golf course and how many rooms the hotel has got at each one…

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.
