From his glory days as an exceptional amateur prospect to an array of injuries that curtailed his progress as a professional, New Zealand golfer Ben Campbell has now carved out a successful career in the paid ranks.
Now in his mid-30s, the Queenstown-based professional has four professional wins to his credit – twice on the Asian Tour where he plies his trade, the NZPGA Championship in 2018 and the domestic Charles Tour. The highlight was a birdie-birdie finish to win the 2023 Hong Kong Open by a shot, and a playoff victory in Morocco in 2024.
He has forged an outstanding record at the New Zealand Open in Queenstown, runner-up in that remarkable playoff in 2017 and again in 2023.
Campbell has also travelled as the reserve for LIV Golf, earning two starts this year, while he has moved inside world golf’s top-200 ranking.
