Welcome to Peter Lawrie's website,

Peter Lawrie has made history by becoming the first Irish Golfer to be named the European Tour's rookie of the year since it's inception in 1960. Lawrie, who turned professional in 1997 but only graduated to the European Tour after winning last year's Challenge Tour grand final, follows in the footsteps of players like Nick Faldo and Jose Maria Olazabal.

Peter Lawrie emerged from the shadow of Padraig Harrington, Paul McGinley and Darren Clarke when he became the first Irishman to win the Rookie of the Year Award. The Dubliner, 29, took the Sir Henry Cotton award for his brilliant debut performance on the European Tour at the end of the 2003 season.

Graduated to The European Tour through the European Challenge Tour, finishing fourth in the Rankings at the end of 2002, helped by a superb victory in the Challenge Tour Grand Final. His elevation to The European Tour was testament to his determination, having spent one year on the Asian Tour and three seasons on the Challenge Tour before achieving his goal. During that highly successful first season on The European Tour, finished in the top 20 on six occasions, while coming close to a first title in the Open de España, where he was edged out in a sudden-death play-off with Sweden’s Peter Hedblom and eventual champion, Kenneth Ferrie of England. Those performances enabled him to qualify for the season-ending Volvo Masters, where he finished tied 42nd to secure a final position of 56th on the Order of Merit. Capped at boys, youths and national level for Ireland as an amateur and in his early days as a professional, he played in Asia and Florida, gaining a "Mini Tourvictory" in America’s Sunshine State.
