Personal life
Lévy is Jewish, and was born to French parents on 1 August 1990 in Orange, California. His father (Philippe) and mother are pharmacists.
When he was four years old, his family moved to Bandol, France, where he resides. At 14 years of age, he joined the French Federation of Golf's academy for secondary school. His nickname is El Toro.
Amateur career
Lévy had a successful amateur career before turning professional, winning the French Amateur Championship in 2009 and the French International Amateur Championship the next year, when he was also a member of the winning French team at the Eisenhower Trophy World Team Championship.
Professional career
Turning pro in 2011, Lévy initially played on the Challenge Tour as an invited player in 2011 and 2012 before earning his European Tour playing rights at qualifying school for the 2013 season.
His first win of the European Tour came at the Volvo China Open in 2014, an event co-sanctioned with the OneAsia Tour, where he shot a 19-under-par 269. During the second round, Lévy shot a course record 62 at Genzon Golf Club giving him a four-stroke lead at the halfway point from which he was able to hold on to win. Following this win Levy was named as April 2014 European Tour Golfer of the Month
His first appearance in a major championship was at the 2014 PGA Championship. In October 2014, he claimed his second European Tour win at the Portugal Masters in an event which was shortened to 36 holes due to adverse weather conditions. With his win, he became the first French golfer to win more than once in the same season.
In winning the 2016 Porsche European Open at Bad Griesbach, Germany, at the age of 26 years and 55 days, he became the youngest Frenchman in history to win three European Tour titles.
He again won the Volvo China Open in 2017, becoming the first two-time winner of the event in its 23-year history.
