Philip Eriksson (born 22 November 1991) is a Swedish professional golfer. He won the 2019 Dimension Data Pro-Am on the Sunshine Tour.[1]
Eriksson turned professional in 2011 and joined the Nordic Golf League. In 2016, he missed out on a European Tour card after winning the first stage of Q-School, and joined the Challenge Tour with conditional status.[2]
In 2018, Eriksson qualified for the South Africa-based Sunshine Tour and got his first win at the Dimension Data Pro-Am in February 2019.[1] The win qualified him for the 2019 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational, where he was the highest-ranked golfer in this field at number 377, but made the cut.[3][4] He ended the 2018–19 Sunshine Tour season 5th in the Order of Merit.[5]
Eriksson finished 38th at 2019 European Tour Qualifying School to earn conditional status for the 2020 European Tour, where he recorded a best finish of tied 8th at the Austrian Open, five strokes behind winner Marc Warren of Scotland.[6] He divided his time between the Sunshine Tour, European Tour and Challenge Tour for the next three years before retiring after the 2023 season.[7]
