Professional career
In 1997, "Doaky" turned professional. He played on the Scottish PGA Tartan Tour, twice topping the regional Order of Merit and clocking up over forty wins, including the Northern Open in both 2005 and 2008. In 2008, Doak won the Srixon PGA Play-offs to become the British and Irish PGA No.1 and set a new record for the most Tartan Tour order of merit wins in one season. In 2010, Chris returned to the Tartan Tour circuit to win the Scottish PGA Championship at Gleneagles.
Doak first played on the European Tour in 2009. He played on the Challenge Tour from 2010 to 2012, winning at the 2012 Allianz Open de Lyon.
Doak played as part of Team Scottish Hydro, before gaining his European Tour card after finishing top ten in the Challenge Tour Order of Merit.
On 27 May 2013, Doak survived a five-way playoff at Walton Heath to qualify for the 2013 U.S. Open.
After several years on the PGA European Tour, Doak took time away from competitive golf following an ulnar nerve injury that prevented him from gripping his club properly. He recently announced his return to golf, both playing tournaments and coaching.
