Early life and career

[edit]

Bramlett, a biracial African American, is a graduate of St. Francis High School in Mountain View, California. He then attended Stanford University for four years, and he earned his PGA Tour card at the 2010 Qualifying School.[1][2] He was the first black golfer to graduate from the tour's qualifying school since Adrian Stills in 1985.[3]

Bramlett made twelve of 25 cuts and finished 196th on the 2011 money list, lost his Tour card, and later joined the Web.com Tour. He finished 28th in 2012, three spots and $4,000 shy of rejoining the PGA Tour. He qualified again in 2019.[4]

Bramlett won the Korn Ferry Tour Championship in 2021, qualifying him once again for the PGA Tour.[4] He finished in 37th place at the 2022 U.S. Open.[5]

Bramlett has four top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour.
