A former professional golfer who was a six time winner of the European Tour and 17 time winner of the Sunshine Tour, Tony Johnstone was one of the finest short-game players in the game. Since retiring from the game after 22 years as a professional, he became a golf commentator and competed on the European Senior Tour, winning twice after his pioneering treatment for Multiple Sclerosis. A larger than life character who has been well-received on screen since appearing on much of Sky's golf coverage for over 19 years, Johnstone has also been called upon as a regular after dinner speaker, ideal for sporting, charity and corporate occasions.
With a personal and professional story that packs in everything from sporting success and peak performance to drive and determination and overcoming adversity, Johnstone is without a doubt one of the world's most treasured golf speakers. Specialising in coaching, meet and greets, as well as personal appearances, Johnstone has engaged countless audiences with his quick-wit, charm and compelling insight into the game. At his peak, Johnstone would record seventh place on the European Order of Merit, he would record the sixth highest amount of Sunshine Tour victories, would top the European Tour short game statistics for three years in succession between 1998 and 2000, and win the British PGA Championship, as one of 25 professional wins.
Johnstone was Vice-Captain of the Presidents Cup International Team between 2013-2015, displaying his ability to lead a team. Today, when he is not speaking to audiences about his memorable career, he offers talks and Q&As in themes relating to leadership and motivation. He is a UK ambassador for the MS Society and has often involved himself in charity work, appearing at numerous charitable occasions in popular scenarios such as 'beat the pro'. If you are looking for a memorable face, distinctive voice and talented golfer to rouse your team at a golf day, look no further than Tony Johnstone.
