There are few more level-headed young golfers than Jack Thompson.
So it’s with justifiable expectation – but also a smattering of reality – that the South Australian ace today takes his next step in golf.
Thompson, 23, a member at The Grange in Adelaide, has declared himself a professional and will play in upcoming events on the PGA Tour of Australasia – including his debut at The Players Series at Bonnie Doon from 4-7 March.
“I’m really excited to turn pro … the culmination of a lot things, really,” Thompson said.
“It’s difficult to have too many expectations and firm plans with all that’s going on in the world, but I think it’s the right time.

Much has changed in the past 15 months since Campbell Rawson’s Victorian PGA triumph yet the intention remains the same.
A year in which he had planned to use his status as an ISPS HANDA PGA Tour of Australasia winner to play up to 30 events and take his game overseas was effectively wiped out by COVID-19. This week’s Victorian PGA Championship at the Moonah Links Resort represents a chance to put that plan back into action.
A Kiwi who grew up playing golf with Ryan Fox in Auckland but moved to Adelaide a decade ago after being scouted to play AFL, Rawson turned to professional golf in 2015.
