Ayoub Lguirati
A Moroccan professional built through Agadir’s golf pathway.
Ayoub Lguirati began playing golf at 11 and developed through the Royal Golf Academy of Agadir. A three-time No. 1 on Morocco’s professional Order of Merit and winner of the inaugural Arab Professional Championship in 2023, he has become one of the country’s established competitors on regional and international circuits.
From Agadir’s academy to international competition
A career shaped by national success and repeated opportunities against international fields.
Lguirati belongs to a generation of Moroccan golfers developed through the Royal Golf Academy of Agadir. According to the Royal Moroccan Golf Federation (FRMG), he first picked up a golf club at 11 and quickly became passionate about the sport. The academy formed the early foundation of his development, while national federation support helped him move from domestic competition toward professional events abroad.
The FRMG lists Lguirati as No. 1 on Morocco’s professional Order of Merit in 2018, 2021 and 2023. It also records him as the winner of the first Arab Professional Championship, and places him 28th on the Pro Golf Tour Order of Merit in 2022. These achievements demonstrate sustained performance on the Moroccan scene as he built experience in wider professional fields.
International Series Morocco has been an important milestone in his career. In the inaugural edition in 2022, Lguirati was the only local player to make the cut and finished tied 28th, a result highlighted by the tournament organisers in 2024 and again in 2026. He has since returned to compete against fields that include Asian Tour players, LIV Golf professionals and major champions.

He then returned to Royal Golf Dar Es Salam to lead the local contingent at his home International Series event, one of the region’s strongest professional fields.

A leading figure in Moroccan professional golf
A homegrown player making repeated starts in stronger international fields.
Lguirati’s story reflects a pathway that connects golf academies, federation support and competitive opportunities at home. He has remained visible at International Series Morocco since its first edition, where his 2022 cut-making performance demonstrated that a local professional could compete deep into the week alongside a high-calibre international field.
The FRMG describes him as part of a generation emerging from the Royal Golf Academy of Agadir, while tournament organisers have noted the role of the federation’s development programme in giving Moroccan professionals and amateurs more chances to play against elite international competitors. Rather than relying on a potentially outdated ranking, the clearest measures of his career are his repeat national Order of Merit success, the 2023 Arab Professional Championship title and his continued presence in professional fields.
