Amateur career

Catlin was born and grew up in Sacramento, California, United States. He picked up the game from an early age and found a lot of success as an amateur, winning consecutive NCGA State Match Play Championships in 2010 and 2011, and Memorial Amateur Championships in 2011 and 2012. Catlin then went on to play for the University of New Mexico where he was an Academic All-American and an honorable mention NCAA All-American in 2012. In the same year he also won the Arizona Intercollegiate and was named UNM Student-Athlete of the year.[1]

Professional career

Catlin turned professional in 2013, he started his first season as a pro playing on the PGA Tour Canada. He then went on to play on the Asian Development Tour full-time, capturing two wins between 2016 and 2017.

Catlins biggest success to date, came in the 2018 Asian Tour season where he won three times.[2] This success awarded him the Asian Tour's player of the year honors. Furthermore, this success also gave him European Tour status for the 2019 season.

Catlin won the 2019 Thailand Open in a four-man playoff to claim his fourth victory on the Asian Tour.[3]

In 2020, Catlin became the first player to be withdrawn from a tournament on the European Tour due to violating the tour's COVID-19 safety protocols, after he and his caddie went to a restaurant in the days leading up to the English Championship.[4]
