Peter Lawrie (born 22 March 1974) is an Irish professional golfer.
Lawrie was born in Dublin and educated at Terenure College and University College Dublin, where he took up a golf scholarship. He won the 1996 Irish Amateur Close Championship and turned professional in 1997.
It took him several years to get a card on the European Tour. He finished fourth on the Challenge Tour Rankings in 2002, including a victory in the Challenge Tour Grand Final. This earned him a European Tour card for the first time. Lawrie credited much of this success to the help of swing coach, Brendan McDaid.
Lawrie had a solid debut season on the European Tour 2003 season and also became the first Irishman to be named the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year. He also lost in a playoff at the 2003 Canarias Open de España, when Kenneth Ferrie birdied the second extra hole to defeat Lawrie and Peter Hedblom.[1]
He had consistently finished in the top 100 of the Order of Merit since then, with a best position of 36th in 2010.
Lawrie achieved a breakthrough victory in 2008 when he won his first title on the European Tour at the Open de España, where he defeated Ignacio Garrido in a playoff.[2]
In September 2016, he announced his retirement from the European Tour at the end of the season to take up a position as a golf professional in Luttrellstown Castle Golf Club.[3]
