“It’s pretty special,” Fisher said. “When you first start on tour, it’s not something you think about, but seeing players like Miguel Ángel Jiménez reach milestones makes you appreciate it. To reach 500 events at such an iconic venue as Dubai makes it even better.”
Fisher made his professional debut at the 2004 Ken Schofield Memorial at Woburn. After competing on the Challenge Tour and going through qualifying school, he secured his card in 2005. “It feels like a lifetime ago, but at 45, I’m still fit and moving well, enjoying my 20th or 21st season on tour,” he added.
Reflecting on his career, Fisher highlighted his consistency. “The last few years have been tougher, keeping my card and relying on career money at times. But having a solid career to fall back on is a privilege, and I’ll keep pushing to retain my playing rights.”
“600 events is a long way off, but if I stay healthy and fit, it’s not impossible. I’ll keep playing as long as I can.”
