Brad is a legend.
Keith Mitchell’s caddie is Brad Schneider, who played professionally for a long time, including 45 career KFT events along with 20 on Canada and Latin America Tours.View quoted post on X
But his story is worth your time.
He was a very good junior player and right before college he was playing a touch football game when he got pulled backwards and broke his leg.
During surgery to repair it they discovered he had developed compartment syndrome which can cause serious damage to muscles.
It required 5 more surgeries in the next 8 days and left him unable to walk for 6 months.
He had to learn to walk again. He redshirted his first year at UCF, then had a great redshirt freshman year despite wearing a brace all year.
Then before his sophomore year Brad lost his mom to cancer and the same week lost his grandma.
Inexplicable tragedy, yet somehow became an all conference player and received the David Toms award for overcoming adversity.
He won multiple mini-tour events and had multiple seasons of some KFT status. However his leg was a problem, it was hard to practice and he and Keith are good friends.
It’s awesome to see him finding success.
