At the age of 12, he represented his country at the 2003 European Boys' Team Championship for the first of seven appearances.{{cite web |title=European Boys' Team Championship – European Golf Association |date=19 October 2015 |url=http://www.ega-golf.ch/page/european-boys-team-championship |access-date=22 January 2023}} He won the Boys Amateur Championship and Irish Amateur Open Championship in 2008.

Figueiredo played college golf at the UCLA where he won three events. He turned professional in mid-2013 after competing in the 2013 Palmer Cup.

Professional career

Figueiredo played on the Challenge Tour from 2013 to 2016 with little success. In 2017 he played on the Pro Golf Tour. Although he did not win any tournaments, he had a consistent season with three runners-up finishes and 10 other top-10 finishes to end the season fourth in the Order of Merit and earn a place on the 2018 Challenge Tour.

In June 2018, Figueiredo won the KPMG Trophy in Belgium, beating Anton Karlsson and Stuart Manley in a playoff, with a birdie at the first extra hole.{{cite web |url=http://www.europeantour.com/challengetour/news/newsid=349802.html |title=Plucky Pedro bites back to triumph in Belgium |publisher=European Tour |date=10 June 2018}} Two weeks later he finished in third place in the SSE Scottish Hydro Challenge. He ended the season in 15th place in the Order of Merit, the last place to earn a card on the 2019 European Tour. He holed a 12-foot birdie at the final hole of the Challenge Tour Grand Final to finish 600 euros ahead of Tom Murray.
