He represented Switzerland in the European Young Masters, European Boys' Team Championship and European Amateur Team Championship, plus twice in the Eisenhower Trophy.[3]

Freiburghaus turned professional in 2019 and joined the Pro Golf Tour. In 2020, he won two events and was runner-up at the Polish Open, and finished 3rd in the Order of Merit to earn promotion to the Challenge Tour.[4]

In 2022, Freiburghaus was runner-up at the Dormy Open and the Scottish Challenge. He claimed his first Challenge Tour title after defeating Max Schmitt in a playoff at the English Trophy.[5] With the win, he moved into the number one position on the Challenge Tour Rankings and ended the season second in the rankings, behind Nathan Kimsey, to graduate to the European Tour for 2023.[6][7][8]
