After realizing he wanted to play properly, Grehan joined Tullamore GC as a 16-year-old and went on to be incredibly successful. He is believed to have the lowest-ever handicap ever recorded at the club (+2). While there, he also won the club championship three times.
5. Grehan won the 2012 Irish Youth Championship after a three-hole playoff – a tournament also claimed by the likes of Paul McGinley, Rory McIlroy and Seamus Power.

8. In 2017, Grehan was ranked Ireland’s No.1 male amateur and was due to feature for Team GB&I in the Walker Cup that summer. However, he suffered a broken arm while playing soccer which meant he missed the prestigious event at LA Country Club.
9. Grehan turned professional in October 2017 and went on to make 86 starts across the EuroPro Tour, Clutch Tour and Challenge Tour. His lone OWGR-ranking success arrived at the 2022 Spey Valley Championship on the same weekend as Shane Lowry claimed the BMW PGA Championship. He also won the K Club Pro-Am in 2022 as well.
