He played on the 2017 Alps Tour as an amateur and won two events, the Villaverde Open and the Alps Tour Grand Final which together with two runner-up finishes meant he led to Order of Merit to earn a place on the Challenge Tour for 2018.

Arnaus turned professional in late 2017 and reached the final stage of the European Tour Q-School. He had a successful first year as a professional, playing mostly on the Challenge Tour. He won the end-of-season Challenge Tour Grand Final by a stroke from Victor Perez to finish second in the Order of Merit and earn a place on the 2019 European Tour. Earlier in the season he was runner-up to Jack Singh Brar in the Cordon Golf Open and also had a third-place finish and was fourth a further three times.
