While at New Mexico, Levin played with future PGA Tour professionals Michael Letzig and Wil Collins. In 2004, he finished in a T-13 at the U.S. Open (and was the low amateur), earning him an invitation back for the 2005 tournament, where he missed the cut. He turned professional in 2005.

Levin finished 22nd on the 2008 Nationwide Tour money list, earning himself exemption for the 2009 PGA Tour season. His best finish that year was a T-7 at the U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee. He would finish T-23 at Q-School in December to retain his card for 2010.
In 2010, his best finish was a T-3 at the Children's Miracle Network Classic in November.
In February 2011, Levin finished tied for first at the Mayakoba Golf Classic at Riviera Maya-Cancun with fellow American Johnson Wagner. However he lost on the first playoff hole, when he made bogey and Wagner made par on the par-four 18th hole.
In June 2012, Levin held a one stroke lead at the 2012 Memorial Tournament over Rory Sabbatini after 54 holes after rounds of 67-72-69 = 208 = 8 under par.
