Amateur career
Nixon was a top amateur golfer nationwide from an early age; he won the Boys Amateur Championship in 2006 at the age of 17, and played in the Jacques Léglise Trophy that year. He played for the national side from 2006 onwards, and was ranked as high as 14th in the World Amateur Golf Rankings. In the USA, he was ranked 7th in the Scratch Players World Amateur Ranking. He broke the course record at Pannal Golf Club, Harrogate, England on 24 August 2005, shooting 63, 9-under-par at age 16. He reached the semi-finals of The Amateur Championship in 2010, losing to the eventual winner Jin Jeong of South Korea.
Professional career
Nixon entered the qualifying school for the European Tour in autumn of 2010, and came through all three stages to earn his playing rights for 2011, prompting him to turn professional. After a promising start to the season, he failed to make a cut between July and November; however, he returned to the qualifying school at the end of the year to regain his card.
