Challenge Tour Jorge Campillo (born 1 June 1986) is a Spanish professional golfer who plays on the European Tour. He has three European Tour wins, the 2019 Trophée Hassan II, the 2020 Commercial Bank Qatar Masters and the 2023 Magical Kenya Open.
Amateur career
After attending the Spanish national training centre as a junior, Campillo elected to play college golf at Indiana University in the United States. Campillo would go on to become one of the most successful players in the university's history, winning nine intercollegiate titles and being named to the Golfweek First Team All-American squad. He finished second in the 2008 NCAA championship. He also played in the Palmer Cup for Europe in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Professional career
Campillo turned professional on graduating in 2009 and began playing on invites to the European and Challenge Tours. He recorded top-10 finishes on both tours and ended the season 98th on the Challenge Tour standings. He played full-time on the Challenge Tour in 2010, improving to 87th in the standings and reaching the final stage of qualifying school, but his breakthrough year was 2011. Campillo recorded two runner-up finishes on the Challenge Tour, in the Acaya Open and the Rolex Trophy, on his way to ninth place in the rankings and promotion to the European Tour.
Campillo made a good start on the European Tour, finishing tied for second place in the Avantha Masters in New Delhi, India in February 2012. He has also finished tied for second place in the Nelson Mandela Championship in December 2013 and in the Tshwane Open in March 2017 and was runner-up in the 2018 Maybank Championship.
Campillo made a good start to 2019 with two more runner-up finishes, in the Oman Open and the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters. In April he won the Trophée Hassan II by 2 strokes, his first European Tour win after 229 European Tour starts.
In March 2020, Campillo won the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters in Doha, Qatar, after winning a five-hole sudden death playoff.
In March 2023, Campillo won the Magical Kenya Open. He shot a final-round 66 to win by two shots ahead of Masahiro Kawamura.
