Keith Weller Horne (born 9 June 1971) is a professional golfer from South Africa.
Early life and amateur career In 1971, Horne was born in Durban, South Africa. He graduated from Westville Boys' High School.
Horne had a successful amateur career. In 1993, Horne won a Silver Medal at the World Games in Spain.
Professional career In 1996, Horne turned professional. Horne immediately joined the local Sunshine Tour, the richest professional golf tour in South Africa. His first professional win came in 1998 at the Vodacom Series: Kwazulu Natal. After that, he had a few off-seasons until he won a few unofficial Pro-Ams in 2003. His second official win came in 2007 at the MTC Namibia PGA Championship. He won again a year later at the Nashua Golf Challenge. Horne also holds membership on the Asian Tour, where he has yet to win.
In 2010, a runner-up finish in the Joburg Open, and a top-10 finish at the Singapore Open, both events which are co-sanctioned with the European Tour meant that Horne earned enough to have a full European Tour membership for 2011.
In 2012, he picked up his fifth victory on the Sunshine Tour at the Telkom PGA Championship. He picked up two more wins in 2014, one in 2015 and another in 2017.
Personal life In 2000, Horne married Karen. He has two children, born in 2002 and 2007. He currently resides in Alberton, South Africa.
