'Confidence for what's ahead': Brabazon Trophy winner Tom Osborne turning professional with alternative route planned

Published 10th Nov 2026, 17:30 GMT

Lindrick’s Tom Osborne says he will take the confidence of victories in major amateur tournaments with him into the paid ranks after announcing his decision to turn professional.

The 25-year-old from South Yorkshire, who attended Aston Comprehensive and spent part of his formative years living in Australia, has had a stellar amateur career, headlined by two notable victories this year.

In March he won the Spanish Amateur Championship and then a little closer to home in May, at Moortown in Leeds, he went wire-to-wire to win the prestigious Brabazon Trophy.

"This year's victories were incredibly special and I'm very proud of how I performed in those tournaments,” said Osborne, who broke the course record on day one with a 62 at Moortown and was never caught.

“Shooting the course record at Moortown and setting the Brabazon Trophy scoring record are achievements I'm honoured to have accomplished.

“Those wins have given me a lot of confidence for what's ahead.”

A regular in the Yorkshire team, he also represented England on numerous occasions. Osborne became a mainstay of the national squad across a host of major international events, including the 2025 and 2026 South American Amateur Championship, the 2026 European Nations Cup, the international match against France at Golf de Chantilly, the Home Internationals from 2024 to 2026, and the 2025 and 2026 Costa Ballena Octangular Match.

His first stop in the pro ranks is on the MENA Tour (Middle East/North Africa).

Osborne added: “I've got three MENA Tour events in Egypt before Christmas and I'm really looking forward to them. Hopefully next year I'll be playing a mixture of MENA Tour and HotelPlanner Tour events and drawing on the experience I've gained competing around the world in a variety of conditions.

“England Golf has played a huge role in my development and I'm incredibly grateful for all the opportunities I've been given.”
