Renato Paratore (born 14 December 1996) is an Italian professional golfer who plays on the European Tour.

Amateur career

As an amateur, Renato had his breakthrough reaching the quarterfinals of the 2013 Amateur Championship at Royal Cinque Ports. Between 2013 and 2014 he won the Junior Orange Bowl in Miami, the Portuguese Amateur Championship, the Trofeo International Umberto Agnelli, the Italian Amateur Stroke Play Championship and the Men's Individual Gold at Youth Olympics. He played in the Junior Ryder Cup twice.[1]

In November 2014, at 17 years of age (the youngest man in the field at PGA Catalunya Resort European Tour Qualifying School), Renato obtained his European Tour card.
