Exploring Scott Piercy's career so far
Back in 2003, the Nevada-born golfer made his debut on the PGA Tour at the Wachovia Championship. However, his first tournament was not very fruitful as he could not get himself inside the cut line.
In 2008, Scott Piercy registered his first-ever professional victory after defeating Hunter Haas, Spencer Levin, and Daniel Summerhays by two strokes to win the Preferred Health Systems Wichita Open on the Nationwide Tour. In the same year, he won the Northeast Pennsylvania Classic. These two wins helped him finish ninth on the money list of the Tour and earned him his PGA Tour card for the 2009 season of the PGA Tour.
In his first full season on the leading North American golf tour, Piercy played 28 events and made the cut in 16 of them. He recorded eight top 25 finishes including two top 10 finishes.

The 2012 season was even better, where Piercy had 28 starts and made 19 cuts. He recorded his second victory on the Tour after defeating Robert Garrigus and William McGirt by one stroke to win the RBC Canadian Open.

He followed the next few seasons with decent performances. In 2018, he teamed alongside Billy Horschel and won his fourth and final victory to date after defeating Jason Dufner and Pat Perez in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
