Having made his start as a professional on the PGA Tour of Australasia, Herbert moved on to the European Tour in 2018 and wasted little time in showing that he belonged with the best the game has to offer.

He defeated Christiaan Bezuidenhout in a play-off to secure his first win as a professional and backed that up on the DP World Tour with victories at the Irish Open in the summer of 2021 and then the ISPS Handa Championship in 2023.

Herbert also make his mark on the PGA Tour with victory at the Butterfield Bermuda Championship in October 2021, meaning he has shown that he can get the job done on both sides of the Atlantic.

In January 2024 Herbert decided to sign with the LIV Golf circuit and made his debut at the Mayakoba Invitational, where he finished in a tie for 21st place.
