Okay, let’s talk about this guy, Brice Garnett. I’ve been following him for a while now, ever since he turned pro way back in 2006. He’s been grinding it out mostly on the PGA Tour and what used to be the * Tour, now it’s called the Korn Ferry Tour. He’s had a long journey, I tell ya.

So, I started digging into his career, checking out his stats, bio, videos, the whole nine yards. You know, just your typical fan stuff. I found his official PGA Tour profile, pretty standard stuff there. Then I stumbled upon this article about him winning the Puerto Rico Open. Apparently, it was his first tournament of the year, and he nailed a 15-foot birdie putt on the fourth playoff hole to clinch the victory. Talk about clutch!
What really got me was this one detail: he was ranked 535th in the world at that time. Can you believe it? He was up against 132 players, and only seven of them were from the top 100. It’s like a total underdog story. I mean, they call him “Skillet”, must be something about his resilience I guess.
I kept going, reading up on his personal life a bit. Seems like a down-to-earth guy, loves hanging out in his hometown in Missouri. He was apparently a big shot in both basketball and golf in college. Even got inducted into his university’s Golf Hall of Fame in 2012. Not too shabby, eh? Also, I saw that he graduated from Missouri Western State University, pretty cool.
- He enjoys boating.
- He likes grilling and cooking.
So, I put all this together, and I gotta say, Brice Garnett’s story is pretty inspiring. He’s not some superstar, but he’s a consistent pro who’s clearly put in the work. And that win in Puerto Rico? That’s just the cherry on top. It makes you root for the guy, you know? He has one career win on tour and finished 5th at the 2019 Mayakoba Golf Classic. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on him in the future, see where his journey takes him next.
This whole process really got me thinking about the power of perseverance. You don’t have to be the best to achieve great things. Just keep at it, and you never know what might happen. That’s the lesson I’m taking away from all this.
