Adam Derek Scott is a Australian professional golfer. To date he is one of only three golfers born in the 1980s who have made the top ten in the Official World Golf Rankings, the others being Sergio García and Justin Rose, and thus has one of the most promising careers in men's golf. On January 7, 2007, he reached a career high ranking of third with a second place finish at the Mercedes-Benz Championship.

Scott was born in Adelaide, Australia. He is often talked of as a natural successor to Greg Norman in Australian golf, an impression reinforced when Norman's former caddy joined up with Scott in 2004.
