O'Hare also competed in soccer, hurling, gaelic and basketball in high school. According to him, he was scouted by Manchester United for soccer when he was younger.
O'Hare played college tennis for the University of Memphis. In 2013, he made it all the way to the Round of 16 in the men's singles. The following year, he and Joe Salisbury became the first Tigers in school history to qualify for the NCAA doubles tournament.[3]
In his time with Memphis, O'Hare earned three-time all-conference honoree in doubles. His 97 doubles wins alongside Salisbury are the most in school history.[4] He graduated from Memphis in May of 2014.
In 2014, he played in the ATP alongside Salisbury, but they lost to the Bryan brothers.[5] He also represented Ireland in the Davis Cup alongside James Cluskey, but they lost to Belarus. The following year, they were relegated to Group Three of the Europe Zone in the Davis Cup after they were whitewashed 5–0 by South Africa.[6]
In 2021, he played in the Davis Cup alongside Julian Bradley, Simon Carr, and Osgar O'Hoisin.[7] In that tournament, they were promoted back to Group 2, with him and Carr securing a 2–1 victory over Georgia to do so.[8]
O'Hare played again in 2023 as vice-captain alongside Carr, O'Hoisin, Michael Agwi, Conor Gannon, and team captain Conor Niland.[9] There, they defeated El Salvador to get in the Group 1 playoffs.[10] In the Group 1 playoffs, they were defeated by Austria.[11]
