Scott Piercy (born November 6, 1978) is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.
Born in Las Vegas, Nevada,[1] Piercy turned professional in 2001. He played on various mini-tours before becoming a Nationwide Tour member in 2008. After a poor start to the season he won two tournaments in August, and finished ninth on the money list to earn PGA Tour playing rights for 2009.
Piercy made an encouraging start to his PGA Tour career, recording five top-twenty finishes in his first six starts, and this run of form elevated Piercy into the top 100 of the Official World Golf Rankings in March 2009. He finished the season ranked 90th on the money list to retain his tour card. In 2010, Piercy slipped and finished 136th, as a result losing some of his status for 2011.
In 2011, Piercy won his first PGA Tour event at the Reno-Tahoe Open. He won his second PGA Tour title in 2012 at the RBC Canadian Open by one stroke over Robert Garrigus and William McGirt. As a result, he earned a place in the following week's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational and was therefore unable to defend his Reno-Tahoe Open title. The RBC Canadian Open win also allowed Piercy entry into 2013 Masters Tournament, his first. Also in 2012, he was runner-up at the WGC-HSBC Champions in China. In 2013, he finished 3rd at the Waste Management Phoenix Open, T-5th at the PGA Championship and Byron Nelson Championship, and reached round of 16 at the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship.
In the 2014 PGA Tour season, Piercy had an arm injury and was out for five months. In his return, he had a best result of T-12 at the Wyndham Championship.
In the 2015 PGA Tour season, he finished 7th at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open, 2nd at the Sony Open in Hawaii, 10th at the Shell Houston Open. In July, he won the inaugural Barbasol Championship, his first victory since 2012.
