Michael Richard Long (born 27 August 1968) is a New Zealand professional golfer who has played on a number of tours, including two seasons on the PGA Tour and three seasons on the European Tour.

1985

He had considerable success as an amateur, winning the New Zealand under-18 title in 1985, the under-21 title in 1988, the under-23 title in 1989 and the New Zealand Amateur in 1990.

1990

He was in the four-man New Zealand team in the 1990 Eisenhower Trophy, played in Christchurch.

He was 43rd in the Order of Merit in 1997, 84th in 1998 and 131rd in 1999.
