Teen joins Woods stable to become professional

Eighteen-year-old Oliver Fisher, who last week became the third youngest player to survive the European tour qualifying school, announced today that he is turning professional and becoming a stablemate of world number one Tiger Woods.

The English youngster has signed with the International Management Group a year after making history by being the youngest player to appear in the Walker Cup.

Fisher finished fifth at the qualifying school and Guy Kinnings, managing director of golf at IMG, said: “Oliver’s outstanding amateur record has established him as one of the world’s best young golfers and he has the looks, personality and charisma to become one of the most sought-after properties in golf.”
