Professional career
In 1992, Butcher turned pro. In 1998, he qualified for and played on the Nike Tour, the PGA Tour's only developmental tour at the time. He does not currently play on a specific tour and over the years has not amassed much success on either the PGA Tour or its developmental tours. He has, however, won many state opens, primarily in New England, along with the 2003 Bay Mills Open Players Championship on the Canadian Tour.
In 2009, Butcher played in three Nationwide Tour events, and three PGA Tour events, after a 5-year absence from either Tour.
