Nick Bienz’s personal life

Born on May 9th, 1995, Nick Bienz is a golfer from Indianapolis. He has studied at the Kelley School of Business. Although nothing about his parents or partner is known, Bienz does have great friends. About a decade ago, his friends added his picture to a notice as a prank. He was then described as a boy who wears ‘nothing but Nike’, loves Christmas, and often treats his friends to food.

Over the years, Bienz has been seen shifting towards several sports niches. MLB, NFL, and NBA, Bienz is a dedicated sports fan. Bienz is an MLB fan who often reposts Arizona Diamondbacks’ posts on his X handle. He rejoices with the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL  and is a Kobe Bryant fan who supports the Los Angeles Lakers.

Where does Nick Bienz work?

Nick Bienz is a teaching professional at Golf Galaxy in Indianapolis. He is extremely dedicated to his work. As Bienz qualified for the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic, the first thing that came to his mind was work. According to Golf Week, he said, “I have to call my boss and call off work tomorrow for sure.” Bienz further mentioned, “I’m supposed to be there at 7:30 in the morning (Tuesday), and I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

Has Nick Bienz played golf before?

Although Bienz is a professional golfer and has played golf all his life, as claimed by him on social media, he has yet to play on the PGA Tour. In July 2023, he was also announced as the champion of a state open tournament, the Indiana Open Championship. However, his breakthrough has already been noticed in the golf community through the qualifiers for the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic.

Nick Bienz’s leap to Rocket Mortgage Classic

Bienz had a phenomenal performance at Monday’s PGA Tour qualifier. However, despite being at the top of the list, he was tied with several other golfers, and the seats available for the qualified were only four.

Yet Bienz won past the eight-hole playoff at The Orchards, and for the first time, he earned himself a ticket to the PGA Tour. But it was not just a usual win. According to Monday Q, Nick Bienz was three beers down. Proud of pin-pointing his beer intake, Bienz stated after winning the playoff, “Remember how I said 3 beers would be a perfect amount? Well, I’m perfect.”.

According to Golf Digest, however, the beer was not the reason for his blackout at the 18th hole. They reported, “Bienz said he “blacked out” on the 18th hole of regulation, but not because of one too many. His 12-footer for birdie on the 18th for 65 was an out-of-body experience. Then came the beers during the agonizing wait for the playoff.”

However, Bienz has yet to realize what he has achieved. He declared, “It won’t hit me until we pull up to Detroit Golf Club tomorrow.” Do you think Nick Bienz will get the golf world’s support for this Rocket Mortgage Classic? Let us know in the comments below.
