Long turned professional at the start of 2019 and played on the Pro Golf Tour in his first year as a professional. He had a successful season, winning the Raiffeisen Pro Golf Tour St. Pölten in July after a final round of 60. During the season he was also runner-up three times, third twice and had 7 other top-10 finishes.[4] He won the Order of Merit and gained a place on the Challenge Tour for 2020.[5]
