Sam Little (born 31 August 1975) is an English professional golfer.

Early and personal life

Little was born in London, England, and is Jewish and has been a member of Hendon Reform Synagogue.[1][2][3]

Career

Little turned professional in 1997, and joined the Challenge Tour in 1999, where he recorded his first win in 2001.[4] In 2004 he won for the second time at that level,[5] and graduated to the European Tour at the end of the season via qualifying school. He became renowned for last-gasp performances to maintain his Tour playing rights, ending narrowly inside the top 115 qualifiers in 2005, 2008 and 2009, and finishing runner-up in the final tournament of 2007 to move up to 76th in the Order of Merit from outside the top 170.[6] This remains his best season-end finish.

After the 2010 season Little lost his playing rights on the European Tour, having finished 182nd, and returned to the Challenge Tour.

In 2011, Little won three events from mid-September to mid-October to regain his European Tour card for the remainder of 2011 and 2012.[7]

Little served on the Maccabi GB Golf Management Team for the 2013 Maccabiah Games.[8]

Family

Little has a wife, Maria, and four children including twin girls. His brother Jamie is also a professional golfer who has played on the European Tour and Challenge Tour.
