Gallacher was born in Dechmont, West Lothian and is the nephew of former European Ryder Cup Captain Bernard Gallacher. He played in a victorious Walker Cup side in 1995 and turned professional later that year.

Gallacher first played on the European Tour in 1996, but struggled to begin with. In 2000, however, he reached the top hundred on the Order of Merit for the first time, placing 56th. In 2004 he recorded his first win on the tour at the Dunhill Links Championship, which is one of the richest golf tournaments in Europe, and finished the year ranked 15th on the Order of Merit.
