He tied for 3rd at the WA Open Championship in 2014 and 2015. In April 2015, he won his first professional title, the PGA of Australia's Morobe Open in Papua New Guinea.[6]
In 2016, he played on the PGA Tour China, where he won the Clearwater Bay Open in Hong Kong, after he rolled in a 10-foot putt for eagle on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff.[7]
On the 2018 PGA Tour of Australasia, Nisbet won two tournaments, the New Zealand Open and the MMC Northern Territory PGA Championship, and finished the season a career-best third on the Order of Merit.[8]
