==Amateur career==
Manassero was born in [[Negrar]], in the [[Province of Verona]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.federgolf.it/index.php?id=3007 |title=Matteo Manassero |publisher=Federazione Italiana Golf |access-date=20 July 2009}}</ref> After a short period at the Villafranca Golf Club, Manassero learned the game at the [[Gardagolf Country Club]] in [[Soiano del Lago]] following the lessons of the club pro Franco Maestroni. Manassero is currently the touring pro of Gardagolf.
In 2009, at the age of 16, he became the youngest-ever winner of the [[The Amateur Championship|British Amateur Championship]], defeating England's Sam Hutsby in the final.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/golf/8111172.stm |title=Manassero claims British amateur |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |date=20 June 2009 |access-date=20 July 2009}}</ref> The win qualified him for the [[2009 Open Championship]], where, playing alongside [[Tom Watson (golfer)|Tom Watson]] and [[Sergio García]] in the first two rounds, he made the cut and won the Silver Medal as leading amateur. He eventually finished tied for 13th place.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2009/jul/19/the-open-matteo-manassero |title=Matteo Manassero returns to school before chasing professional dream |
Manassero topped the [[World Amateur Golf Rankings]] on 30 December 2009<ref>[http://wagr.randa.org/default.sps?pagegid={06E33FA7-E1B5-4B0D-AE14-292B34A25086}&newsid=6644657&siteid=&pageno=&newscategory=1171&frommonth=11&fromyear=2009&tomonth=1&toyear=2010 Wattel pips WAGR No 1 on final day in Florida] - 6 Jan 2010</ref> and remained number 1 for 18 weeks, until he was removed from the rankings upon turning professional.<ref>[http://wagr.randa.org/default.sps?pagegid={06E33FA7-E1B5-4B0D-AE14-292B34A25086}&newsid=6648639&siteid=&pageno=&newscategory=12864&frommonth=3&fromyear=2010&tomonth=5&toyear=2010 Manassero embarks upon professional career]</ref>
On 9 April 2010, Manassero beat [[Bobby Cole (golfer)|Bobby Cole]]'s record, which lasted since 1967, to become the youngest player ever to make the cut at the [[Masters Tournament]], at 16 years and 11 months and 22 days. Manassero was nearly two years younger than Cole was when he made the cut at the 1967 Masters. He was surpassed by [[Guan Tianlang]] who, on 12 April 2013, became the youngest player to make the cut in PGA Tour history at 14 years, 5 months of age.<ref>{{cite web|title=14-year-old Guan Tianlang of China makes cut at Masters|url=http://www.wftv.com/ap/ap/sports/14-yeard-old-guan-tianlang-of-china-makes-cut-at-m/nXLJ8/|publisher=WFTV TV|access-date=12 April 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130416002542/http://www.wftv.com/ap/ap/sports/14-yeard-old-guan-tianlang-of-china-makes-cut-at-m/nXLJ8/|archive-date=16 April 2013}}</ref> Manassero announced that he would turn professional shortly after the Masters and about two weeks after his 17th birthday.
== Professional career ==
===2010–2016===
Manassero turned pro on 3 May 2010,<ref>[http://www.europeantour.com/europeantour/season=2010/tournamentid=2010024/news/newsid=121121.html Manassero Second Youngest To Join Tour]</ref> making his professional debut at the [[BMW Italian Open]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.majorschampionships.com/masters/2010/news/manassero_pro.cfm |title=Italy's Manassero, 16, says he's turning professional |publisher=pgatour.com |date=10 April 2010 |access-date=10 April 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224175518/http://www.majorschampionships.com/masters/2010/news/manassero_pro.cfm |archive-date=24 February 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> His first win came on 24 October 2010 at the [[Castelló Masters Costa Azahar]] in Valencia, Spain, where he triumphed by four strokes over [[Ignacio Garrido]]. At age 17, the victory made him the youngest-ever winner on the European Tour, surpassing the record set by [[Danny Lee (golfer)|Danny Lee]] at the 2009 [[Johnnie Walker Classic]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/golf/9122476.stm |title=Matteo Manassero becomes youngest European Tour winner |work=[[BBC Sport]] |date=24 October 2010 |access-date=2010-10-24}}</ref> The victory also secured his full European Tour playing privileges for the next two seasons. Manassero posted another very strong result when he tied for second in the 2010 [[UBS Hong Kong Open]], one stroke behind winner [[Ian Poulter]]. He won the [[Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year]] in 2010.
In 2011 Manassero secured his second European Tour win at the [[Maybank Malaysian Open]] on 17 April 2011 at the age of 17 years and 363 days, making him first and second on the list of youngest European Tour winners.
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
In 2012 he managed to further improve his results: in November 2012, after a win at the [[Barclays Singapore Open]], he became the first teenager to win three times on the European Tour. He also collected a second place at the [[Open de Andalucía Costa del Sol]], and five more top 10 placements that earned him the 13th place in the final Order of Merit.
In 2013, Manassero won the biggest tournament of his career to date: the [[2013 BMW PGA Championship]] with a birdie at the fourth extra hole of a playoff against [[Simon Khan]] and [[Marc Warren (golfer)|Marc Warren]], becoming the youngest-ever winner of this tournament. With the win Manassero gained the right to play in the [[2013 U.S. Open (golf)|2013 U.S. Open]] and entered the top 30 of the [[Official World Golf Ranking]].<ref>{{cite web |url=
After collecting a 4th place at the 2014 [[Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open]] as the sole top 10 result of the season, 2015 proved to be a more difficult year for Manassero in the European Tour, where he was able to make only 6 cuts in 22
After the first round of the 2016 Scottish Open, Manassero opened up to ''[[bunkered]]'' magazine about "deep lows" he had suffered during his period of struggle.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.bunkered.co.uk/golf-news/matteo-manassero-back-from-deep-lows |title=Matteo Manassero back from 'deep lows' |date=8 July 2016 |magazine=bunkered |first=Martin |last=Inglis}}</ref> He went on to finish T3 at Castle Stuart, his best result on the European Tour all season.
===2020 to present===
Manassero won his first professional event in seven years at the 2020 Toscana Open on the [[Alps Tour]], two tiers below the European Tour.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://live-alps.ocs-software.com/magnifico-matteo-manassero-claims-victory-at-toscana-open/ |title=Magnifico! – Matteo Manassero Claims Victory at Toscana Open |publisher=Alps Tour |date=19 September 2020 |access-date=10 March 2024}}</ref>
Manassero won twice on the [[2023 Challenge Tour]], finishing ninth on the rankings, securing his return to the European Tour in 2024.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.europeantour.com/challenge-tour/news/articles/detail/manassero-returns-to-dp-world-tour-after-finding-form-in-2023/ |title=Manassero returns to DP World Tour after finding form in 2023 |publisher=European Tour |date=15 December 2023 |access-date=10 March 2024}}</ref>
In March 2024, Manassero claimed his first European Tour victory in over 10 years at the [[Jonsson Workwear Open]] in South Africa.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.reuters.com/sports/golf/magnificent-manassero-claims-first-win-11-years-2024-03-10/ |title=Magnificent Manassero claims first win in 11 years |work=Reuters |date=10 March 2024 |access-date=10 March 2024}}</ref>
