He finished 30th in the 2022 Challenge Tour rankings, highlighted by a runner-up finish at the Hopps Open de Provence in October. In November, Brown finished third at the European Tour Qualifying School to claim a European Tour card for the 2023 season.

In July 2024, he made his major championship debut at the 2024 Open Championship after earning a place in the field through final qualifying, and had the lead after the first round after a bogey-free 65.
In July 2025, Brown won the BMW International Open by two shots over Jordan Smith. He earned a PGA Tour card following the 2025 DP World Tour season. Brown had originally finished 11th among those not otherwise exempt, with the top 10 earning PGA Tour cards. However, he earned the 10th spot after Laurie Canter opted instead to rejoin LIV Golf.
