Professional career

Ledesma turned professional in 2007 and played much of his early career on the Argentine national professional golf tour, winning the Order of Merit in 2014, the Tour de las Américas and the PGA Tour Latinoamérica. He gained his card on the second tier United States based Web.com Tour for the 2018 season after finishing 5th on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica Order of Merit in 2017.

Ledesma won on his debut season on the Web.com Tour at the LECOM Health Challenge.[4][5] This was his only top-10 finish of the season and he finished 42nd in the money list.[1] He claimed his second victory on the renamed Korn Ferry Tour the following year at the TPC Colorado Championship,[6] and finished the season in 8th place on the regular season points list to earn his card on the PGA Tour for the 2019–20 season.[7]
