After participating in the 2016 Eisenhower Trophy, Adrian Meronk turned professional and played on the Challenge Tour in 2017. That same year, he was runner-up in the Ras Al Khaimah Golf Challenge, losing in a playoff to Jens Dantorp. He finished the season ranking 30th. In 2018, he again played on the Challenge Tour, finishing 48th in the rankings with only one top-10 finish.
Meronk began the 2019 Challenge Tour season with a good start. He was tied for seventh place in his first two events and then placed solo third in the D+D Real Czech Challenge. In September of that year, he won his first Challenge Tour title in the Open de Portugal, finishing two strokes ahead of Sebastian García Rodríguez. He ended the 2019 season ranked fifth in the Challenge Tour Rankings, earning him a spot on the 2020 European Tour.
Meronk led the 54-hole at the Alfred Dunhill Championship in November 2020 but dropped into a share of second place after a final round 76. He was four shots behind the eventual winner, Christiaan Bezuidenhout.
In July 2022, he made history by becoming the first Pole to win on the European Tour when he won the Horizon Irish Open. In December of the same year, he won his second European Tour title at the ISPS Handa Australian Open by five shots over Adam Scott.
In May 2023, Meronk won the DS Automobiles Italian Open. With this win and consistent play on the European Tour in 2022 and 2023, he became a strong contender to qualify for the Ryder Cup team in September 2023. However, he ultimately finished fifth on the European points list at the end of qualification at the Omega European Masters and missed out on automatic qualification. Even though he had won at the venue in which the Ryder Cup was played, he was controversially not selected as a wildcard pick. A month later, he won the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters in Spain.

Stuart Beck has been caddying for Meronk for a while, and their successful partnership will likely continue. Beck began his caddying career on the Ladies European Tour before moving on to the men's Challenge Tour.
In an article by Martin Dempster on the Edinburgh News website, Beck reveals that he worked in finance for a broker in Edinburgh for 19 years before getting involved in golf. He took a week off in 2018 to caddy for Anne van Dam in the Ladies' Scottish Open at Gullane, where he plays, and that's how he got started in caddying. He worked his way up from the Ladies European and Challenge tours.
Beck worked with Italian Lorenzo Scalise for over a season and then with Aaron Cockerill, a Canadian, for over a year on the main tour. After they finished, Meronk was looking for a new caddie, and Beck was looking for a job, so it all came together. They connected from working together on the Challenge Tour in 2017/2018.
