Wilkinson was born in Palmerston N.
He finally obtained his Professional Golf Association Tour card by finishing inside the top 25 at the 2007 qualifying school. He made over one million dollars in prize money and finished 92nd on the final money list. In 2009, Wilkinson played in the final pairing at the Verizon Heritage, but faded to finish T6.
A thumb ligament injury curtailed his season and saw him gain a major medical extension of his playing rights.
By June 2010 he had played the 12 events this extension afforded him, and had not earned enough money to retain his status. Wilkinson finished fifth on the 2013 Web.com Tour regular season money list to earn his 2014 Professional Golf Association Tour card.
