Argentinian golfer Emiliano Grillo is a professional golfer who is currently ranked 41st in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) as of April 2024. He turned professional in 2011 and has competed on the PGA Tour. His first tournament was the 2012 Africa Open, where he placed tenth.

In February 2014, Grillo achieved his highest result in the European Tour by finishing second at the Omega Dubai Desert Classic, just behind Stephen Gallacher. He also had a decent season, finishing eighth at the BMW International Open and BMW Masters and eleventh at the Turkish Airlines Open. Grillo won the Visa Open de Argentina on the PGA Tour Latinoamérica.

In the 2015 season, he played on the Web.com Tour and won the Web.com Tour Championship by the end of the season, defeating Chez Reavie for a score of 266, under 14, by a single stroke. With this win, he got his PGA Tour card, and two weeks later, he won his first PGA Tour win at the Frys.com Open (Fortinet Championship) in a playoff against Kevin Na.

The next season, he won the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, and was still considered a rookie given that he played in not more than 10 events. His second PGA Tour win came after eight years at the 2023 Charles Schwab Challenge, against Adam Schenk in a playoff, where he won with a birdie on the second extra hole.

As of April 2024, he has played in 10 events, missing the cut in only the Masters Tournament. His best finish came at the Sony Open in Hawaii, where he tied for seventh place with a score of 266, under 14.

Since joining the PGA Tour, he has played in 229 events, missing the cut in 60 events and winning only two events with six runner-ups, four third-place finishes, 15 top-5s and 34 top-10s.
