Justin Peter Rose (born 30 July 1980) is an English professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour and the European Tour. He is a former world number one in the Official World Golf Ranking.
At age 17, Rose came to prominence when he finished in fourth place as an amateur at the 1998 Open Championship. He turned professional the next day but struggled during his first few years on tour, making few cuts. He won his first European Tour title in 2002 and led the tour's Order of Merit in 2007. In the ensuing years, Rose won a number of notable tournaments on the PGA Tour, and claimed his first major championship at the 2013 U.S. Open. He earned a gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and reached the top of the world rankings for the first time in 2018. Rose has also recorded five runner-up finishes at major championships: the 2015, 2017 and 2025 Masters Tournaments, and the 2018 and 2024 Open Championships.
Rose broke 70 for the first time at the age of 11 and was a plus three handicap by 14.
Despite his early career struggles, Rose's career soon began to take off and he became established on the European Tour. In 2001, he opened the season with consecutive second-place finishes in South Africa. He went on to finish the year in top-40 on the Order of Merit. He won his first professional event, the Dunhill Championship in South Africa, in 2002, and followed this up with three further victories in that year. They included another win in South Africa at the Nashua Masters, a win on the Japan Golf Tour at The Crowns Tournament, and then he won his second European Tour title at the Victor Chandler British Masters, edging out Ian Poulter in the final round.
In 2003, Rose reached number 33 in the Official World Golf Ranking. He earned enough money to claim his PGA Tour card as a non-member for 2004 after finishing with more money than the 125th ranked player on the money list. In 2004, he played mostly in America on the PGA Tour while also maintaining his membership on the European Tour. He did not have a great year and slipped out of the top 50 in the world rankings; however, he kept his tour card after earning in excess of a million dollars.
His ranking continued to fall in early 2005, and in March he announced that he was quitting the European Tour and concentrating on playing on the PGA Tour. This had no apparent effect on his poor form, and by the middle of the year, he had fallen out of the World's top 100. In August of that year, he made an about-face by announcing his intention to return to the European Tour. Later the same week he had his best result of the year, leading the Buick Championship in Connecticut after three rounds before slipping to a third-place finish. A couple of further good results followed late in the 2005 season, and he maintained his status on the PGA Tour after all.
In September 2006 at the Canadian Open, Rose led a PGA Tour tournament going into the final round for the first time. But he slipped up with a final round 74 which moved him down the field. He went on to finish 2nd at the Valero Texas Open and finished 47th on the money list with US$1.629 million in prize money. In November 2006 he won the Australian Masters, to claim his first title for four years. His renewed consistency, including a top 5 finish at the 2007 Masters, saw him surpass his previous best world ranking, by reaching number 26 on 8 April 2007.
Rose lost in a playoff at the 2007 BMW PGA Championship but moved into the top twenty of the World Rankings for the first time. By October he had reached a new career high of 12 and became the top-ranked British golfer. Rose won the European Tour Order of Merit title for 2007 in a thrilling climax to the season at the Volvo Masters, which he won in a playoff on 4 November. His new world ranking of number 7 made him the top-ranked European golfer for the first time, and he subsequently moved up to sixth in the rankings. Since the end of 2009, Canadian golf instructor Sean Foley coaches Rose.
In 2011, Rose continued with success. He entered the final round of the Transitions Championship (Florida) with a one-stroke lead. However, he shot a three-over-par 74, including four consecutive bogeys, in the middle of the round to finish five shots behind champion Gary Woodland. In September 2011, Rose played the BMW Championship at Cog Hill Golf & Country Club (Illinois), the third of the four FedEx Cup playoff events. A flawless round of 63 on the opening day helped Rose to build a four stroke advantage going into the final round. Even though there was a late wobble with a bogey at the par-5 15th hole, Rose recovered and won by two strokes from John Senden.
In 2012, Rose played World Golf Championship event at the WGC-Cadillac Championship at Doral Golf Resort & Spa. He entered the final round three strokes behind Bubba Watson. However, Rose played well in the final round and took a two-stroke lead entering the par-4 18th hole. He found the right rough with his tee shot and could not get up and down from the back of the green, making bogey. This left Watson requiring a birdie to tie Rose. Watson hit an iron shot from the right hand rough to within ten feet but could not make the birdie putt giving Rose the biggest win of his career. At the 2012 PGA Championship, Rose recorded his best ever performance in a major championship with a T-3. At the 2012 Ryder Cup, Rose played a major part in Team Europe's comeback against the United States. Rose holed putts of 10, 35, and 12 feet on the final three holes to defeat Phil Mickelson 1 up. On 12 October 2012, Rose won the 8-man Turkish Airlines World Golf Final defeating Lee Westwood by a single stroke in the final. He also beat Tiger Woods by a stroke in the semi-final after progressing from his group with a 100% record. On 25 March 2013, Rose finished second to Tiger Woods at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and rose to a career-high of third in the world rankings.
In June 2013, Rose played the U.S. Open. Rose entered the final round two strokes behind leader Phil Mickelson at one-over-par. In the final round, Rose birdied the 6th and the 7th holes to tie the lead. Rose three-putted the 11th for bogey to fall back to one-over-par for the tournament. Around the same time, Mickelson holed his second shot from the fairway at the par-4 10th for eagle to regain the lead. However, Rose responded with birdies at the 12th and 13th holes to move back into the solo lead. Rose could not get up and down from a bunker on the 14th hole, however, and a bogey on the 16th hole dropped him to level for the day. However, Mickelson recorded bogeys at the 13th and 15th holes to remain one shot behind Rose. At the par-4 18th hole, Rose hit a 4-iron approach to the back of green to ensure par. The shot was reminiscent of Hogan's own shot from about the same area, landing his approach on the green and two putting for the victory, as Hogan had in 1950.
He had the clubhouse lead. Mickelson, needing a birdie at the last to tie Rose, blocked his drive and could not reach the green in two. He hit his pitch shot near the pin but could not hole it. Rose won the tournament by two over Mickelson and Jason Day. He became the first Englishman to win the U.S. Open since Tony Jacklin in 1970.
In June 2014, Rose won the Quicken Loans National defeating Shawn Stefani on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff. Two weeks later, Rose won the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open. At the 2014 Ryder Cup, Rose emerged as the leading points-getter, amassing four points in a 3-0-2 performance, as Europe won. At the 2015 Masters Tournament, Rose finished in a tie for second with Phil Mickelson behind winner Jordan Spieth. Two weeks later he won his seventh PGA Tour tournament at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. In October, he won the UBS Hong Kong Open on the European Tour defeating Lucas Bjerregaard by one stroke. ]]Rose earned rights to represent the United Kingdom at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. On the opening day, he became the first ever player to make a hole-in-one in Olympic play after recording it on the 189-yard par-3 4th hole of Gil Hanse's new Olympic Course in Barra da Tijuca using a 7-iron. Described as having an inspiring effect on the rest of the Great Britain team, Rose later gave the golf ball from that hole-in-one to gymnast Nile Wilson, who would go on to win a bronze medal in the horizontal bar. Rose went to the 18th hole on Sunday tied at −15 with playing partner Henrik Stenson of Sweden. Rose then produced a backspin pitch that left him with a short birdie putt which he converted while Stenson underhit his approach and eventually three-putted for bogey. Rose won the gold medal. Shortly thereafter, Rose brought his Olympic gold medal to The Barclays at Bethpage Black and wore it around his neck, on the suggestion of playing partner Phil Mickelson's caddy Jim "Bones" McKay and to cheers from the gallery, during his final putt.
In April 2017, Rose shot opening rounds of 71-72 at the Masters to enter the weekend as one of only a handful of players under par. In the third round, he fired a five-under round of 67 to co-lead through 54 holes with Sergio García. His round consisted of seven birdies, which resulted in a 31 on the back nine to move into contention for his second major championship. Rose ultimately lost to García in a sudden-death playoff. In October, Rose played the WGC-HSBC Champions. He was tied for fourth place, eight strokes behind leader Dustin Johnson after the third round. However, in the final round Rose shot a 67 to Johnson's 77 to win by two strokes. Late in the year, Rose won the Turkish Airlines Open, a Rolex Series event, on the European Tour and the Indonesian Masters, an Asian Tour event. In December 2017, it was announced that Rose would be the host of the 2018 British Masters. He opted to take the event to Walton Heath Golf Club. at the 2018 U.S. Open.]] In May 2018, Rose won the Fort Worth Invitational on the PGA Tour. Two months later, in July, Rose tied for second with a score of six-under-par at the 2018 Open Championship. His cumulative score of twelve-under-par across all four 2018 major championships was the best amongst everyone who made the cut in all four tournaments. In September 2018, he placed high in two FedEx Cup Playoffs events, finishing second at the Dell Technologies Championship and losing a playoff to Keegan Bradley at the BMW Championship. Those finishes moved Rose to World Number One in the Official World Golf Ranking. The next week, Rose finished T4 at the Tour Championship to win the season-long FedEx Cup and $10,000,000. Rose was part of the winning European team at the 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National outside of Paris, France. On 4 November 2018, Rose successfully defended his title at the Turkish Airlines Open with a playoff victory over Li Haotong. This victory returned Rose to World Number One and earned him $1,166,660.
In January 2019, Rose won the Farmers Insurance Open on the PGA Tour. Around this time, he announced new sponsors. He transitioned from TaylorMade Golf to Honma in a 10-club deal. He also switched from Adidas to Bonobos for his clothing. In May 2020, the deal with Honma was cancelled by Rose, however, after he fell from #1 to #14 in the world rankings. In June, Rose finished tied for 3rd at the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links in Pebble Beach, California.
In February 2023, Rose ended a four-year winless streak when he won the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. He shot a final-round 66 to win by three shots over Brendon Todd and Brandon Wu.
In September 2023, Rose played on the European team in the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Guidonia, Rome, Italy. The European team won 16.5–11.5 and Rose went 1–1–1 including a loss in his Sunday singles match against Patrick Cantlay.
In July 2024, Rose had to come through the hard route of playing at the Open by coming through Final Qualifying at Burnham & Berrow. Despite this, Rose went on to tie for runner-up in the 2024 event for the second time at Royal Troon.
Rose was runner-up at the 2025 Masters Tournament after going to a playoff against Rory McIlroy after both tied at −11, Rose having made up seven shots on the final round after scoring 66. Rose parred the playoff hole and McIlroy won with a birdie. This was the second time that Rose had tied for first in the Masters in the regulation 72 holes and lost in a sudden-death playoff. The only other player to lose two Masters playoffs is Ben Hogan, in 1942 and 1954 when the playoffs were over 18 holes.
In August 2025, Rose won the FedEx St. Jude Championship with a birdie on the third playoff hole to defeat J. J. Spaun.
Rose is an advocate of sustainable golf facilities and works as an ambassador to the STRI's Golf Environment Awards, hosting receptions for winners.
