Marcus Higley (born 16 May 1974) is an English professional golfer. He has previously played on the European Tour and the Challenge Tour.
Career
Higley turned professional at the young age of 17. After many years playing on the second-tier Challenge Tour, he enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2006, recording his first win and earning a European Tour card for the first time. In his debut season at the highest level, he recorded two top-10 finishes, including a runner-up finish at the dual-sanctioned Open de Saint-Omer, but still failed to retain his playing privileges. He regained his European Tour card at the first attempt via the 2008 Challenge Tour, but endured another tough season on the full tour, and since then has played solely on the Challenge Tour. Since 2013 he is no longer active on the professional golf circuit.
