Early life and amateur career
Jarvis was born and grew up in Boksburg, South Africa. He had a successful amateur career and was on the national squad. He won the 2019 Junior Golf World Cup in Japan with the South African team, joined by Samuel Simpson, Martin Vorster and Christo Lamprecht.[3]
In 2020, at 16, he captured the South African double, winning both the South African Stroke Play Championship and the South African Amateur Championship.[4]
He won the African Amateur Stroke Play Championship back to back in 2021 and 2022.[5]
Jarvis also won on South Africa's development tour, the Big Easy Tour, a few weeks before he turned professional following the Western Amateur.[2]
Career
Jarvis turned professional in August 2022 and joined the Sunshine Tour, where he finished runner-up at the South African PGA Championship and The Tour Championship, and won the Rookie of the Year award.[6]
At age 19, he become the second youngest person to shoot a 59, in the third round of the 2023 Stella Artois Players Championship.[7]
Jarvis's results in Sunshine Tour events co-sanctioned by the Challenge Tour in early 2023 (including a second-place finish at the SDC Open) enabled him to play in further Challenge Tour events. He had runner-up finishes at the Copenhagen Challenge and D+D Real Czech Challenge before winning the Euram Bank Open in Austria in July to move to the top of the Race to Mallorca season ranking.
In February 2026, Jarvis won the Magical Kenya Open by three shots to clinch his first title on the European Tour.[8] One week later, he won the Investec South African Open Championship to earn himself a spot in the Masters Tournament and The Open Championship.[9]
