Early life and amateur career

Scotland was born in Manchester and educated at The John Fisher School in Surrey. In 1997, he won a competition to find a British Tiger Woods. He went on to have a successful amateur career, winning several tournaments and gaining many representative honours, in addition to becoming the youngest English player ever to qualify for The Open Championship in 1999.

Professional career

In 2003, Scotland turned professional. However, a car crash that resulted in an injury to his neck severely affected his early career.
Scotland finally earned his place on the European Tour by finishing inside the top 120 on the Order of Merit in 2007 despite having limited playing opportunities. However he failed to establish himself during his maiden season in 2008 and was back competing on the second tier Challenge Tour the following year. Scotland later played in lower-tier tours including PGA EuroPro Tour and the Dubai-based MENA Golf Tour, winning the MENA Tour's Order of Merit in 2013. Scotland played in the European Tour's Q School in 2013 and made it to the final stage, but finished 57th. Scotland has ten wins on the MENA Tour, the most by any player.
Scotland is the nephew of former Attorney General Baroness Scotland.
In March 2022, Scotland was appointed Diversity Ambassador to The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.
