Joseph Dean (born 23 June 1994) is an English professional golfer and European Tour player. In 2024, he was runner-up at the Magical Kenya Open and the KLM Open.[1]
Amateur career
[edit]Dean was born in Sheffield and is attached to College Pines GC.[2] In 2012, he was runner-up at the Fairhaven Trophy, and in 2013 won the Dutch Junior Open. He represented England in the Boys Home Internationals and the Men's Home Internationals.[3]
Dean won the 2015 English Amateur at Alwoodley Golf Club, beating Alfie Plant in the final 9 and 7.[4]
Professional career
[edit]Dean turned professional in 2016 and joined the PGA EuroPro Tour. In his rookie season, he finished 10th in the rankings, and in 2017 he finished 5th. In 2019, he joined the Challenge Tour where he finished 106th. He returned to the PGA EuroPro Tour, where he won the 2021 Worcestershire Masters and finished 8th in the rankings.
Dean earned his card for the 2024 European Tour at Q-School but did not initially compete as he could not afford the travel cost around the globe to participate, and worked as a delivery driver for Morrisons supermarket.[5] When he joined the tour in February, he was runner-up in his second event, the Magical Kenya Open, and was runner-up again at the KLM Open, where he lost a playoff to Guido Migliozzi.[6]
