Australian golfer Adam Crawford competing on the PGA Tour.
Adam Crawford was born on 9 September 1975 in Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia, and later resided in Brisbane. He developed through Queensland representative golf, playing for the Queensland School Boys team in 1991 and 1992 and the Queensland Junior team in 1993. He turned professional in 1997 and spent the following years competing in professional events in Australia and attempting to establish himself internationally through qualifying school and developmental-tour opportunities.
Crawford’s professional pathway included the PGA Tour of Australasia and the Web.com Tour in the United States. His breakthrough in Australia came with victory at the 2011 NSW Open at Newcastle Golf Club. Crawford won by one stroke with a final-round 69, finishing at six under par. He later explained that the NSW Open victory moved him into the top 10 of the Australian Order of Merit, enabling him to attend PGA TOUR qualifying school and helping open the way to his 2013 Web.com Tour campaign.
During his first full Web.com Tour season in 2013, Crawford made the cut in 17 of 25 starts and recorded a best finish of tied sixth at the Midwest Classic. His documented Web.com Tour career also included a tied-second finish at the 2014 Utah Championship, where he shot 71, 61, 69 and 66 for 17 under par. The result was reported as the first runner-up finish of his Web.com Tour career.
Crawford’s playing profile was that of a touring professional with a solid all-round statistical base. The 2013 Web.com Tour media guide recorded driving accuracy of 69.83 per cent, greens in regulation of 69.53 per cent and a putting average of 1.763. He also competed in major Australian events, including the Australian Open. PGA TOUR records list him as inactive, and no verified current professional roster or tour status has been identified as at 18 August 2026.
Crawford identified his 2011 NSW Open victory as the key breakthrough in his career. The win placed him inside the top 10 of the Australian Order of Merit, which enabled him to attend PGA TOUR qualifying school and contributed to his move into the Web.com Tour in 2013. The 2011 NSW Open was played at Newcastle Golf Club, where he won by one stroke at six under par.
Documented highlights include one NSW Open title in 2011, a tied-second finish at the 2014 Utah Championship and a tied-sixth finish at the 2013 Midwest Classic on the Web.com Tour. The 2013 Web.com Tour guide recorded 25 starts, 17 cuts made, four top-25 finishes and US$94,356 in season earnings. No verified PGA TOUR or Korn Ferry Tour victory has been identified.
Crawford’s defining competitive moment was his one-stroke NSW Open victory in November 2011 after a final-round 69. His most prominent United States result was tied second at the 2014 Utah Championship after a 61 in the second round and a closing 66. PGA TOUR’s player profile also records that he once played with Greg Norman while Norman was world No. 1, and that caddying for his father was his favourite golf memory.
