Biography

Du Plessis turned professional in 2015 and joined the Sunshine Tour after finishing number one at Q-School. In 2016 he recorded five top-5 finishes, including a tie for second at Vodacom Origins of Golf at Wild Coast Sun, behind Madalitso Muthiya. On the 2017?18 Sunshine Tour he won the Vodacom Origins of Golf at Sishen, clinching his maiden Sunshine Tour title on his 21st birthday.

In March he won the Steyn City Team Championship with Jean Hugo. Du Plessis tied for 6th at both of the South African Opens played in 2020, in January and December. At the 2021 edition, which lost DP World Tour co-sanctioning as a result of COVID-19 related travel restrictions, he finished solo 3rd, which helped him break into the top-200 on the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time.

Du Plessis played on the 2021 Challenge Tour, where he lost a four-way playoff at the Limpopo Championship to Brandon Stone. He finished 28th in the Road to Mallorca ranking. He finished runner-up at the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational London, a single stroke behind his compatriot Charl Schwartzel, and won the team event with an all-South African team of Schwartzel, Branden Grace and Louis Oosthuizen.
