After turning professional, Blair began playing on PGA Tour Latinoamérica in March 2014. He played in seven events, making the cut six times and finishing in the top-10 three times. He played eight events on the Web.com Tour, making seven cuts including a T-2 finish at the Price Cutter Charity Championship and qualifying for the Web.com Tour Finals. After missing the cut in the first three events, he finished second at the Web.com Tour Championship and earned his PGA Tour card for the 2014–15 season.
On the PGA Tour, his best finish was a solo 3rd at the 2016 Sony Open in Hawaii until the Travelers Championship in 2023, where he finished T-2. He has played in three majors, the 2014 U.S. Open, where he placed T-40 and the 2016 PGA Championship and 2019 U.S. Open, where he missed the cut.
At the 2016 Wells Fargo Championship, Blair was disqualified for hitting himself in the head with a putter, and continuing to use it. He was disqualified for using a non-conforming club.
In the 2018 PGA Tour season, Blair made only 11 cuts in 20 events. He won $330,507 and finished 170th in the season-long FedEx Cup. As a result, he lost his PGA Tour card.

On August 4, 2019, Blair won the Ellie Mae Classic at TPC Stonebrae on the Korn Ferry Tour. This win guaranteed that Blair would regain his PGA Tour card for the 2019–20 season.
