Shinkwin turned professional in November 2013 and played in the 2014 Challenge Tour, coming second in the Challenge de Catalunya and finishing 34th in the Challenge Tour Road to Oman. He played on the Challenge Tour again in 2015. A good finish to season, with a third place in the season-ending NBO Golf Classic Grand Final, lifted him to 13th in the Road to Oman rankings and giving him his European Tour card for 2016.
He earned his biggest prize to date by finishing tied for 19th in the Irish Open in May and the bettered that by finishing tied for 9th in the Open de France, after a final-round 68. The latter performance gave him entry to the 2016 Open Championship, his first major championship.
