Tampion was born in Melbourne, Australia. He turned professional in 2006.

Tampion played on the European Tour in 2007. His best finish of the season came at the Indonesia Open, where he finished tied for second behind Mikko Ilonen in what was just his fourth start of the season. He struggled for the remainder of the season, however, and failed to retain his card.

Tampion spent much of 2008 playing on the Challenge Tour and secured his first professional victory at the Challenge of Ireland.

After finishing fifteenth in the Challenge Tour Rankings the following year, Tampion ensured he would be playing on the European Tour in 2010.
