The Australian golfer turned pro in 2017, and his journey since has been filled with ups and downs. His parents are Stuart Luck and Jody Luck but they like to keep their lives private, away from the spotlight. However, they have been an important support system throughout Curtis’s career, providing encouragement and backing his pursuit of golf from a young age.

Curtis Luck is an Australian professional golfer who attended The University of Western Australia (UWA), where he played college golf before turning professional. He grew up in Perth, Western Australia, and was introduced to golf at an early age, showing promise in his youth. His golfing talent became evident as he rose through the ranks in amateur golf, particularly in the Australian golfing scene. Curtis Luck’s success as an amateur golfer, including winning the 2016 U.S. Amateur Championship, was in part due to the solid foundation laid by his family, who helped foster his love for the game and supported his rise to international recognition.

He also has a sister, Jasmine Luck who is in business with their father. They launched their business together on November 18, 2021. Curtis Luck even congratulated them on his official Instagram account and shared the news. The company is called Flowersins and it specializes in supplying epoxy resins to all artists, woodworkers, and hobbyists and ships Australia-wide. When it comes to the female support systems in his life, his girlfriend Gracen Grainger too has been with him through thick and thin. She is a model from South Carolina and the duo started dating each other on January 30, 2020. How they met is still unclear, but they enjoy spending their off time together, traveling the world.

Luck is a big-time coffee enthusiast, and his main agenda whenever he is traveling is to find the best coffee. If not golf, he would have been a basketball player. He loves the sport, and his family also has a background in the sport.

Curtis Luck’s journey from an amateur golfer to a professional golfer

After an outstanding amateur career, including winning the 2016 U.S. Amateur Championship and the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, Luck decided to turn pro in late 2017. His decision was partly influenced by the success he had achieved as an amateur, earning him high rankings and invitations to prestigious tournaments, such as the Masters and The Open Championship in 2017.

He joined the PGA Tour in 2019 and has played in 38 events so far. This has managed to get his career earnings to a whopping $814,290 from the American Tour in just five years.  This year alone he competed in 11 events and made 5 cuts. His best finish of the 2024 season was a forgetful T27 at the Utah Championship presented by Zions Bank and Intermountain Health wherein he scored 16 under. However, the journey has not been easy at all for the Australian pro golfer. As it turns out, he had to give in a lot. Additionally, he had taken up breaks as well, which further fueled him to become better at the game.

Curtis Luck’s extended break from the game

Curtis Luck had to miss playing golf for three months after playing in Savannah in May. He ended up injuring himself, and well, while he was meant to return very soon, he could not because right after his recovery, he welcomed his newborn niece. After three months he returned to the NV5 International at the Korn Ferry Tour, and said, “The time off was probably good, but it ended up being more time off than I ever needed.” This also resulted him in playing fewer events this year. Nonetheless, the Aussie seems to be in full swing, trying to grab a victory.

That is not all for miseries. In 2023, he faced another setback. Curtis Luck was scheduled to take part in the Albertsons Boise Open as part of the Korn Ferry Tour that week. The event, held at the Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles, was set to have Luck play in the first round on Thursday. However, due to missing his tee time, the decision was made to disqualify Luck from the tournament. The Australian had failed to show up on time for his 7:45 a.m. tee time, mistakenly believing he was due to arrive slightly later.

A statement from the Korn Ferry Tour confirmed the reason for Luck’s disqualification. The statement read: “Curtis Luck missed his first-round tee time and did not arrive within the five additional minutes allotted under Rule 5.3a, and was subsequently disqualified. Luck did not meet any of the three exceptions within Rule 5.3a.” But well, all is well that ends well right? Let us know what are your thoughts on the journey of the player.
