Long was selected for the 2021 Walker Cup, but only played in the final-day singles session due to "gastrointestinal issues" that impacted both teams. He won his match against John Pak on the 18th hole.[6]

In August 2022, Long finished runner-up at the Vodacom Origins of Golf at De Zalze, two shots behind winner George Coetzee.[7][8]
