Professional career
Gagli turned professional in 2006.[1]
He spent 2007 on the Alps Tour, where he finished fourth on the Order of Merit.[2] As a result, he was promoted to the Challenge Tour, where he played for the 2008 season. He graduated from the qualifying school in 2008 to earn promotion for the European Tour in 2009, but struggled for form at that level and divided his season between the European and Challenge Tours. He again came through qualifying school at the end of 2009, but once again bounced between tours for 2010. A strong finish to the year left him 17th on the Challenge Tour rankings, which earned him promotion to the European Tour once more for 2011.[3] His best finishes on the European Tour are a T3 at the 2011 Barclays Scottish Open and sole 2nd at the 2011 Madrid Masters.[4] Gagli has been featured in the top 150 of the Official World Golf Ranking.[5]
