Professional career

Sullivan turned professional in 2011; in that year he played four European Tour events before entering the 2011 qualifying school where he obtained the tour card with a 3rd place finish.

In 2012, Sullivan finished in 145th place in the Race to Dubai without a top-10 finish. He secured his place on the European Tour for 2013 at the 2012 qualifying school.

In 2013, Sullivan finished 98th on the Race to Dubai with his best finish being a tie for third at the Alfred Dunhill Championship.

In 2014, Sullivan finished 33rd on the Race to Dubai including a second place finishing at the Trophée Hassan II, a third place at the KLM Open, and three more top-10 placements. During that season, Sullivan hit a hole-in-one at the KLM Open earning him a flight into space.

Sullivan's first European Tour win came in January 2015 at the South African Open. Sullivan won the event in a playoff against South African Charl Schwartzel who had started the final round seven strokes ahead of Sullivan. Sullivan quickly followed this success with wins at the 2015 Joburg Open in March and the Portugal Masters in October, which was a wire-to-wire victory by nine strokes. He became the first man to record three victories on the European Tour in 2015, finishing with an 8th place in the final Order of Merit and a best placement of 47th in the Official World Golf Ranking.

Thanks to his results on the 2015 and 2016 seasons of the European Tour he obtained an automatic selection for the 2016 Ryder Cup.

He is currently sponsored by RSM.
