Neal Shipley (born December 23, 2000) is an American professional golfer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Amateur career Shipley was raised in Mt. Lebanon, Pennsylvania, a suburb south of downtown Pittsburgh.
Shipley was low amateur at the 2024 Masters Tournament and the 2024 U.S. Open. He qualified for both these tournaments by being runner-up at the 2023 U.S. Amateur.
Shipley played three seasons of golf at James Madison University before graduating and transferring to Ohio State University.
Professional career After finishing as the low amateur in both the 2024 Masters Tournament and the 2024 U.S. Open, Shipley turned professional. His first event as a professional was at the Beachlands Victoria Open on the 2024 PGA Tour Americas. Shipley finished tied for ninth place.
In his first three events on the PGA Tour after turning pro, Shipley had a top-20 finish at the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic, a missed cut at the John Deere Classic, and a T-6 at the ISCO Championship.
The following season, he earned his first professional win, defeating Lee Seung-taek on the fifth playoff hole to claim the LECOM Suncoast Classic title on the Korn Ferry Tour. In July 2025, Shipley shot a final-round 64 to come back from seven shots back to claim the title at The Ascendant for his second Korn Ferry Tour victory of the season.
On February 9, 2026, while playing for the Bay Golf Club, Shipley made the first TGL hole in one during his debut match, with the Bay Golf Club going on to win the match 11–5.
