Timeline

1920

He was the first European to win New Zealand's national open since the 1920s.

1940

He also qualified for the U.S. Open and PGA Championship; he was the first Irish pro to play in the U.S. Open since the 1940s.

1948

His first year was solid (if unremarkable) with one top-ten placing and 48th ranking on the Order of Merit.

1964

Ronan Patrick Rafferty (born 13 January 1964) is a Northern Irish professional golfer who formerly played on the European Tour.

1980

He tied for first place with Peter McEvoy in the 1980 English Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship for the Brabazon Trophy.

According to Rafferty, as an amateur he and future pro Philip Walton had the best handicaps in the country.

For a period Rafferty was one of the best professional golfers in Europe.

1981

He won the Boys Amateur Championship aged 15, qualified for the Open Championship at age 16, and played in the 1981 Walker Cup aged 17.

1982

Rafferty joined the European Tour in 1982.

1983

His second season, in 1983, inaugurated an excellent stretch that lasted throughout the 1980s.

In eight straight seasons, he finished in the top 30 of the Order of Merit and recorded at least six top-10s per year.

He struggled at coming through down the stretch, however.

He recorded an astonishing 62 top-10s before his first European Tour victory.

1986

This included a playoff loss to compatriot David Feherty at the 1986 Lancia Italian Open.

He avenged his 1986 playoff loss at the Italian Open with a one stroke win over Sam Torrance.

This would be Rafferty's best season, as he would win an additional two events and record a 15 top-10 finishes.

At the end of the year he won the Volvo Masters, the most prestigious win of his career, defeating Nick Faldo by one shot.

He would go on to win the European Tour Order of Merit.

1987

Between 1987 and 1993, he won 12 official tournaments around the world: five in Australia, seven in Europe.

He had better luck winning down under, however, recording two wins on the 1987 Australasian Tour.

The second victory was at the New Zealand Open, where he defeated defending PGA Championship winner Larry Nelson in a playoff.

1988

He also won the 1988 Australian Match Play Championship, defeating Australian Mike Clayton in the finals.

1989

He won the European Tour Order of Merit in 1989.

Rafferty was born in Newry, Northern Ireland.

He led the 1989 European Tour Order of Merit and qualified for the 1989 Ryder Cup team.

He also spent over 100 weeks ranking inside the top 25 of the Official World Golf Ranking between 1989 and 1993.

After knocking on the door for years, Rafferty would finally win in Europe in 1989.

He would also finish atop the 1989 Ryder Cup standings and play in his only Ryder Cup that year at The Belfry.

1990

By the early 1990s, he came close to breaking the then-record for consecutive cuts made on the European Tour.

In 1990 was another great season for Rafferty.

He won the Coca-Cola Classic, PLM Open and Ebel European Masters Swiss Open, recorded two runner-ups and had 12 top-10s in 30 official tour events.

His excellent play earned him a special foreign invitation to play the Masters for the first time.

The remainder of the early 1990s would see Rafferty play a mixture of some good and more disappointing golf.

1991

Although he recorded six official top-10s, including a runner-up finish at the European Pro-Celebrity pro-am, 1991 was a frustrating year.

For the first time in five seasons, Rafferty did not win an official international event.

He missed a European Tour cut for the first time in years at the Spanish Open.

His play at the majors was especially weak.

2016

In the spring he reached his career peak of #16 in the Official World Golf Ranking after a tie for 6th at the Belgian Open.

2018

Although Rafferty did not play well (he lost both team matches he played), he won his singles match against defending Open Championship winner Mark Calcavecchia on the 18th hole for a 1up win.

This tight win proved indispensable as the European team struggled on the last day and only barely retained the cup with a 14–14 tie.
