Anthony Quayle was born on 25 August 1994 in Port Macquarie, Australia, and grew up in Nhulunbuy on the Gove Peninsula in the Northern Territory. He began playing golf as a child and, at 14, attended Hills International College near Brisbane to access a more developed golf programme. His early development included coaching from Charlie Earp, a respected Australian coach associated with Greg Norman’s development. Quayle became one of Australia’s leading amateurs, reaching No. 2 nationally and a peak of 34th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking. He represented Australia at the 2016 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship and lost a playoff for the 2016 PNG Open. Quayle turned professional in early 2017 and initially competed on the PGA Tour of Australasia, where he recorded a third-place finish at the PNG Golf Open during his rookie season. He later gained Japan Golf Tour status and spent several seasons competing in Japan, producing runner-up and other top-ten finishes, including second at The Crowns and third at the 2019 Casio World Open. His first professional victory came at the 2020 Isuzu Queensland Open, followed by the 2022 Queensland PGA Championship. In 2022, he also finished runner-up at the Gateway to The Open Mizuno Open after losing a playoff to Scott Vincent. That result secured entry to The Open Championship, where Quayle tied for 15th at St Andrews, his best major-championship result. Later notable performances included runner-up at the 2023 Shigeo Nagashima Invitational Sega Sammy Cup, third at the 2023 Shinhan Donghae Open and third at the 2024 New Zealand Open. His 2025 Australian campaign included a tied-third finish at the BMW Australian PGA Championship, while the New Zealand Open reported that he earned DP World Tour status for the 2026 season. Available sources describe his professional context across the Challenger PGA Tour of Australasia, Japan Golf Tour and DP World Tour pathways; the supplied provider record currently labels him Inactive.
The clearest early breakthrough was Quayle’s third-place finish at the 2017 PNG Golf Open in his rookie professional season, after he had finished runner-up in the same event as an amateur in 2016. His later international breakthrough came with runner-up finishes at The Crowns and the Fiji International in 2018, which helped him rise inside the top 250 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
Two international wins are listed on the PGA TOUR profile: the 2020 Isuzu Queensland Open and 2022 Queensland PGA Championship.
