Brittany was born on 8th December 1987 in Chicago. She attended the University of Florida, where her husband was also attending college.
The couple met in 2004, 19 years ago, during a Junior golf tournament. For the 36-year-old golfer, it was love at first sight, but his wife took some time to come around and fall in love with him.
Brittany used to play golf during her college days
During her days at the University of Florida, Brittany was a college-level golfer. According to her husband, “Brittany was an incredibly talented player.” During her early days in the sport, she had to get 3 surgeries on her wrist. Eventually, she decided to give up the sport and retire because of the recurring wrist injuries.
Although she has retired from the sport, she occasionally caddies for her husband. One time, when the 36-year-old golfer was competing in Scotland, she caddied for him because his regular caddie had some green card issues.

Praising her husband in front of the world, Brittany shared in 2017 that his husband has been by her side like a rock as she sought help for alcoholism.
