Kyron Lee Sullivan (born 22 June 1976) is a Welsh professional golfer.
Early life
In 1976, Sullivan was born in Cardiff, Wales. Sullivan attended the University of Wales Institute, Cardiff. Afterwards, he worked as an IT analyst.
Professional career
In 2002, he jettisoned his career as an IT analyst and decided to work as a professional golfer. He spent two years playing on the PGA EuroPro Tour and a further three on the Challenge Tour, where he won for the first time in 2006. This helped him to fifth place in the rankings, earning him a place on the European Tour for 2007.
On the European Tour, Sullivan ended his debut year 131st in the Order of Merit, just outside the players who automatically retained their cards, but he still gained entry to several events in 2008. Since 2009, he has returned to the Challenge Tour full-time.
In 2008, Sullivan also won the South Wales Open.[1]
