Anthony Summers is an Australian golfer born in New South Wales and associated with Sydney. He became a professional in 1991 and spent more than two decades competing as a tournament professional across Australia and internationally, including appearances or qualifying campaigns connected with the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia and Oceania. His career path included competition on the PGA Tour of Australasia and other professional circuits, as well as attempts to qualify for the Asian Tour and major championships. Summers’ defining breakthrough arrived at the 2014 Queensland PGA Championship, where he recorded a 24-under-par total of 256 and won by three strokes. The victory was reported as his first four-round Australasian PGA Tour win after 23 years as a professional; his previous strong results included runner-up finishes in the NSW Open and NSW PGA Championship. He also competed in the 2012 U.S. Open at The Olympic Club in San Francisco. In the senior game, he won the 2020 Victorian Senior PGA Championship. Summers subsequently developed a substantial coaching career. He is a certified PGA professional, has worked in player development with Golf NSW, was named 2021 NSW PGA Coach of the Year for Game Development, and served as assistant coach of the winning Golf NSW State Team in 2023. The most recent public professional profile lists him as a teaching professional at St Michael’s Golf Club while also coaching at Ryde-Parramatta Golf Club and leading junior-development work. His supplied provider status is Inactive, and no current elite touring roster status could be verified.
The clearest documented breakthrough was Summers’ victory at the 2014 Coca-Cola Queensland PGA Championship at City Golf Club in Toowoomba. He shot 24-under-par 256 and defeated Ryan Fox by three strokes. The win came 23 years after he turned professional in 1991 and was described as his first four-round Australasian PGA Tour victory.
Publicly documented highlights include more than 50 professional wins, the 2014 Queensland PGA Championship title, a 24-under-par 256 winning score at that event, participation in the 2012 U.S. Open, the 2020 Victorian Senior PGA Championship title, the 2021 NSW PGA Coach of the Year award for Game Development, and assistant-coach involvement with the winning Golf NSW State Team in 2023. A 2014 PGA Tour of Australasia Order of Merit document lists Summers with 7 events, $19,442.00 and 46th place; this is a season-specific published figure, not a career-total estimate.
Summers’ most famous documented playing moment was the closing stretch of the 2014 Queensland PGA Championship. He secured the title with an eagle on the par-five 16th hole after an errant three-wood tee shot left him under trees. He also attracted attention with a third-round 67 at the 2007 Australian Masters at Huntingdale, entering the final round at six-under par, and with his 2012 U.S. Open appearance at The Olympic Club.
