Professional career

In 2017, Díaz lost in a playoff to Ethan Tracy at the Club Colombia Championship. The finish moved him from outside the top 700 in the Official World Golf Ranking to 462nd, which qualified him for the WGC-Mexico Championship by being the highest-ranked Mexican golfer. Díaz also qualified for the U.S. Open, his first major championship, when Phil Mickelson withdrew to attend his daughter's high school graduation.{{cite news |url=http://www.espn.com/golf/usopen17/story/_/id/19641956/phil-mickelson-officially-withdraws-2017-us-open |title=With weather clear, Phil Mickelson drops out of U.S. Open |work=ESPN |date=15 June 2017}}{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/sports/wp/2017/06/15/roberto-diaz-will-always-be-the-guy-who-replaced-phil-mickelson-this-week/ |title=Roberto Diaz will always be the guy who replaced Phil Mickelson at the 2017 U.S. Open |first=Chuck |last=Culpepper |date=15 June 2017 |newspaper=Washington Post |accessdate=25 June 2017}} He would go on to shoot 72-76 to miss the cut. Diaz finished 25th in the 2017 Web.com Tour rankings, the last guaranteed position for a PGA Tour card.

After the 2018-19 PGA Tour season, Diaz lost his tour card and returned to the Korn Ferry Tour.

In March 2021, Diaz won the Chitimacha Louisiana Open on the Korn Ferry Tour by one stroke over Peter Uihlein.
