Jean-Louis Guépy (born 25 May 1967)[1] is a French professional golfer from New Caledonia.

Though he never won on either tour, he recorded runner-up finishes in three prominent international events, including to world #1 Greg Norman at the 1996 Ford South Australian Open.

The game was part of the family as his father, George, was a local tennis president in New Caledonia.

[2] As a young adult, Guépy peaked within the top ten of France and Australia's amateur tennis rankings.

He won his first professional event, the Open de Vittel, and finished second on the Order of Merit to earn full playing rights on the European Tour.

[1][5] Guépy had a difficult transition to the main tour, missing the cut in four of his first six events.

With strong winds in his face, he came back poorly with a 38 (+2) to lose two strokes to the field.

In early July, at the BMW International Open he shot rounds of 65–68 (−11) on the weekend to finish in a tie for fourth.

[5] After the season ended, he played in the World Cup of Golf in Shenzhen, China.

He and teammate Jean van de Velde finished at 561, in a tie for 6th with Ireland.

[14] Soon after the World Cup, Guépy returned down under to play on the PGA Tour of Australasia.

[15] He shot a third round 69 (−3) to reach 211 (−5) and get within one of Greg Norman and Peter McWhinney's lead.

[24] He shot a 76 (+3) in the final round[25] and finished in a tie for 4th place with Australians Stuart Appleby and Terry Price.

Guépy was tied for the lead entering the final round with Bradley Hughes and Glenn Joyner.

[28] He reached his career Official World Golf Ranking peak at 128 after the event.

[30] In June 1996, a back injury prevented him from playing in Europe for the remainder of the season.

[1] In his first event in Europe, the Spanish Open, Guépy had much success, scoring four consecutive under-par rounds.

He missed the cut, withdrew, or was disqualified from 12 of the remaining 14 events he played in Europe.

[34] Due to his poor performance in 1997, Guépy did not retain his European Tour membership.

Guépy made the cut in 4 of 8 events, including consecutive top-10s at the Heineken Classic and Greg Norman Holden International.

He held the five-way share of the lead at the midway point of the 2012 South Pacific Golf Open Championship.

[40] Two years later, Guépy attempted to qualify for the 2014 PGA Tour of Australasia but failed by two shots.

[42] In 2016, Guépy played in the South Pacific Open Championship in his homeland of New Caledonia.
