Richie Ramsay (born 15 June 1983) is a Scottish professional golfer who plays on the European Tour.
Ramsay played in the 2005 Walker Cup and, in 2006, became the first British golfer in almost a century to win the U.S. Amateur.
Ramsay turned professional in 2007, and played two seasons on the second tier Challenge Tour, winning twice in 2008. He has played on the European Tour since 2009, winning three times.
In 2006, Ramsay won the U.S. Amateur, defeating American John Kelly 4 & 2 in the 36-hole final. He was the first British player to win the championship since 1911, and the first Scot since 1898. He topped the first edition of the World Amateur Golf Ranking, which was issued by the R&A on 23 January 2007.
After playing in the 2007 Masters Tournament, U.S. Open and Open Championship, for which he had qualified through his U.S. Amateur victory, Ramsay turned professional.
In 2009, Ramsay finished the season inside the top 100 of the Race to Dubai and secured his tour card for 2010. At the second event of the 2010 season, held at the end of 2009, he won his first title on the European Tour by defeating Shiv Kapur in a playoff for the South African Open Championship.
By 2011, Ramsay was firmly established on the European Tour with 6 top ten finishes taking him to the top 30 of the Order of Merit for the first time.
In September 2012, Ramsay won the Omega European Masters in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. He shot a final-round 66 to win by four shots. The following month Ramsay finished runner-up at the Hero Indian Open on the Asian Tour. He was defeated in a sudden-death playoff by Thaworn Wiratchant.
In March 2015, Ramsay won the Trophée Hassan II, winning by one shot over Romain Wattel and claiming his third European Tour victory.
In July 2022, Ramsay won the Cazoo Classic at Hillside Golf Club. He shot a final-round 69 to win by one shot over Paul Waring. It was his first victory in over 7 years.

Professional career
In 2007, Ramsay made his professional debut at the European Tour's Russian Open. He finished that event in a tie for 53rd place, and completed the remainder of the season playing tournaments on the second tier Challenge Tour. Having failed to come through final qualifying school at the end of the season, he again played on the Challenge Tour in 2008. He won his first professional tournaments during the 2008 season, the Vodafone Challenge in Germany and the AGF-Allianz Golf Open Grand Toulouse. He ended the year in 8th place on the Challenge Tour Rankings to graduate directly to the European Tour for 2009.
