Markus Brier (born 5 July 1968) is one of relatively few Austrian touring professional golfers, and as of 2008 was his country's second highest ranked player, behind Bernd Wiesberger. Brier won the Swiss and German Amateur Opens in the mid-1990s, and turned professional in 1995 at a relatively late age. Nine top ten finishes, including five top threes, on the 1999 Challenge Tour earned him third place on the season ending money list and playing privileges on the European Tour for 2000. He retained his tour card through his final position on the order of merit every year, except for 2002 and 2010 when he regained it through final qualifying school.
