Andrew Michael Sullivan (born 19 May 1987) is an English professional golfer who currently plays on the European Tour.
Sullivan had a successful amateur career before turning professional. He won the individual title in the Tailhade Cup in Argentina in 2010, and had a win in Australia. Sullivan's biggest win as an amateur came at the 2011 Scottish Amateur Open Stroke Play, Championship
In 2011, Sullivan represented the winning Great Britain and Ireland team at the 2011 Walker Cup, where he lost 3&2 to Jordan Spieth in the singles.
Sullivan turned professional in 2011; in that year he played four European Tour events before entering the 2011 qualifying school where he obtained the tour card with a 3rd place finish.
In 2012, he had an unsuccessful first season on the tour finishing in 145th place in the Race to Dubai without a top-10 finish. He secured his place on the European Tour for 2013 at the 2012 qualifying school.
In 2013, Sullivan had a more successful season finishing 98th on the Race to Dubai with his best finish being a tie for third at the Alfred Dunhill Championship.
In 2014, Sullivan continued to improve, finishing 33rd on the Race to Dubai including a second place finishing at the Trophée Hassan II, a third place at the KLM Open, and three more top-10 placements. During that season, Sullivan memorably hit a hole-in-one at the KLM Open earning him a flight into space.
Sullivan's first European Tour win came in January 2015 at the South African Open. Sullivan won the event in a playoff against South African Charl Schwartzel who had started the final round seven strokes ahead of Sullivan. Sullivan quickly followed this success with wins at the 2015 Joburg Open in March and the Portugal Masters in October, which was a wire-to-wire victory by nine strokes. He became the first man to record three victories on the European Tour in 2015, finishing with an 8th place in the final Order of Merit and a best placement of 47th in the Official World Golf Ranking.
