Career
Higley turned professional at the young age of 17. He qualified to the Challenge Tour in 2001 and enjoyed a breakthrough year in 2006, recording his first win at the Thomas Bjørn Open and earning a European Tour card for the first time. In his debut season at the highest level, he recorded several top-10 finishes, including a runner-up finish at the dual-sanctioned Open de Saint-Omer. He regained his European Tour card at the first attempt via the 2008 Challenge Tour, but endured a tough season on the full tour due to injury. Despite surgery, in 2012 he retired from the professional golf circuit.
