After his singing career fizzled out—honestly, who stays famous from a talent show in 2008?—Andrew found his second act on the golf course. He started competing in amateur tournaments, then turned pro around 2019. It wasn’t just a hobby; he worked with coaches, played in events like the PGA EuroPro Tour, and even had a few decent finishes. Talk about a career change that makes your gym teacher proud.
But here’s the thing: golf is brutally tough, especially when you’re not a household name. There’s no Simon Cowell to give you a golden buzzer—just a lot of sand traps and silent putts. So, where’s Andrew now? Spoiler: he’s still teeing off, but it’s not all smooth sailing.
What’s the Latest Score?
As of early 2026, Andrew Johnston is active on social media (you can find him on Instagram under @andrewjohnstongolf), and he regularly posts updates from tournaments. He recently played in the Kent Amateur Open and a few events on the Clutch Pro Tour in the UK. His scores? Mixed bag, honestly—some rounds in the low 70s, others in the high 80s. You know, the usual golf rollercoaster.

One of his more recent highlights: he shot a 68 at the Lightwater Valley course last summer, which is nuts for a part-time pro.
