Scott Nicholas Vincent (born 20 May 1992) is a Zimbabwean professional golfer. He has played predominantly on the LIV Golf League, Asian Tour and the Japan Golf Tour. He was the Asian Tour's Rookie of the Year in 2016, and in 2022 he won the tour's International Series Order of Merit, a feat he repeated in 2025. He has also won three times on the Japan Golf Tour. He represented Zimbabwe in the 2018 World Cup of Golf and the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, being the first Zimbabwean golfer to do so.
Professional career Vincent turned professional in 2015. After five runner-up finishes on the Asian Tour between 2016 and 2018, he finally got his first major tour victory at the 2021 Sansan KBC Augusta on the Japan Golf Tour. He also won the ANA Open three weeks later.
In May 2022, Vincent won the Gateway to The Open Mizuno Open, beating Anthony Quayle in a playoff. The win also gained him an exemption into the 2022 Open Championship. A week later, Vincent won the International Series England at Slaley Hall in Northumberland, England. He carded a final-round 66 to win by one shot over Travis Smyth and claim his first Asian Tour victory.
Vincent's International Series England win gave him the status to play in the 2022 LIV Golf Invitational Series. He played in all eight events, with his best finish being 14th in LIV Golf Invitational Chicago. He played on three different teams before becoming a regular on Joaquín Niemann's Torque GC for the final five tournaments. He finished 42nd on the earnings list with just under $1.5 million in total individual and team earnings. In December 2022, Vincent won the Asian Tour's International Series Order of Merit, earning full status to play in the 2023 LIV Golf League season. He finished in the top-24 in the individual standings to earn a spot for the following season. Having been relegated the following season, he returned to the Asian Tour and once again won the International Series Order of Merit, to earn his place in the LIV Golf League for the 2026 season.
Personal life He met his wife, Kelsey Loupee, while attending Virginia Tech on a golf scholarship. The pair married in 2017. Loupee acts as his caddy. The pair live in Loupee's hometown of Denver, Colorado. His younger brother, Kieran, is also a professional golfer.
