Nathan Holman (born 19 April 1991) is an Australian professional golfer from Melbourne, Australia who plays on the PGA Tour of Australasia, the European Tour, and the Asian Tour. In December 2015, he won the Australian PGA Championship for his first professional victory.
Holman had a successful amateur career and just prior to turning professional he was ranked number two in Australia and number 25 in the world. He played regularly as an amateur on the PGA Tour of Australasia in the last twelve months of his amateur career, including a top 20 finish in the Victorian PGA Championship. He also tied for fifth at the Heritage Classic and tied for second in the Victorian Open.
Holman turned professional in October 2013, and his first professional tournament was the Western Australia Goldfields PGA Championship at Kalgoorlie Golf Course from 3–6 October 2013.
In only his fifth professional tournament, in November 2013, Holman made the cut at the 2013 Talisker Masters played at the Royal Melbourne Golf Club and significantly, was tied for the lead at the half-way mark. He went into the final round tied for second, having played the third round with Adam Scott, a player Holman has described as an idol. Although Holman faded in the final round with a 78, he did shoot three sub-par rounds to finish on -3 and 15th place in a tournament field of 120 competitors. He finished 13th on the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit, having finished in the top 25 in six of the seven tournaments he played as a professional.
Holman earned his Asian Tour card for 2014 through Q School and placed 52nd on the Order of Merit, with his best finish a tie for second at the ICTSI Philippine Open. In addition to finishing 34th on the PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit, he also played four European Tour events in 2014 and finished 201st in the Race to Dubai as an affiliate member.
