Brian Harman’s Wife Kelly Van Slyke – Instagram, Wiki, Pics, Family, Wedding, Age, How They Met

There’s a lot of glitz and glamor in professional golf, but there are also challenges—such as being away from home for much of the year. Brian Harman and his wife Kelly van Slyke make this setup work for them, whether she can be with him on tour or not. But who is this lady at Brian’s side exactly?

Who is Brian Harman?

Brian Harman is a left-handed professional golfer currently playing on the PGA Tour. He has been playing professionally since 2009 and has had several tournament victories. In July 2023 he won the Open Championship at the Royal Liverpool Golf Course.

Who is Kelly van Slyke?

Kelly van Slyke is the New York born wife of Brian Harman. She is mother to three young kids and juggles career life as a radiologist too. People had quite a chuckle recently when a reporter shared that while Brian was winning the Open Championship, Kelly wasn’t sitting in front of the TV watching every shot. She was actually enjoying a walk outdoors while visiting family.

Clearly this couple knows how to balance all the different aspects of their lives.

Kelly van Slyke & Brian Harman – Are They Married?

Kelly and Brian got married in December 2014 after a very sweet proposal earlier that year. According to FTW USA Today, Brian got a ring and during turkey hunting in April 2014, he hid it in her new pair of camouflage pants. When Kelly was trying on the pants, she discovered much more than she expected—a ring—and luckily for Brian she said yes!

Their wedding day also has an interesting story connected to it. They originally considered getting married in November but this would have possibly conflicted with football games of the Bulldogs. Since many of their Georgia-based friends supported this team, Brian advised his fiancé to rather move the wedding date…in fear of guests rather watching football than coming to their big day.

How Did They Meet?

Sources including dreshare.com tell us that Brian and Kelly met through mutual friends. This apparently happened as far back as 2010 or 2012. Exact dates are not confirmed but she first became part of his social media posts in 2013. Golf Monthly does confirm they dated for quite a while before they decided to get married.

Where Do They Live?

The Harmans have chosen Sea Island, Georgia as their home. They have a 25-acre farm and dailymail.co.uk has shared that tasks like mowing the lawn are activities Brian enjoys when he’s home.

The couple is well known in the area. Of course, he enjoys playing at the Sea Island Golf Club but Kelly and Brian also support local ventures related to healthcare, the arts and sports.

Do They Have Kids?

The Harman-van Slyke household has grown over the years. Currently they have three small kids, that you’ll sometimes see on the course with Brian:

• Copper Marie was born 8 June 2016
• Their song Walter arrived in 2019
• A second son, Jack, was born in September 2022

Does She Appear on Tour with Brian?

Kelly has been seen on tour with Brian many times, although she can’t always make it. Unfortunately she had to miss one of her husband’s big wins during the 2023 Open Championship. She was spending time with family in New York at the time.

As Brian has said, according to the Daily Mail, he has his family out on tour as much as is possible. Even with a new baby in the family, Kelly attended the Masters Par 3 in Augusta in 2023.

But it can’t always be that way. One can imagine that a baby along with two other kids can make any travel day quite an adventure! Still, there are many stunning pictures of Brian, his wife and his kids on courses across the world, as can be seen on golf.com.

Kelly van Slyke Early Life Bio

Kelly van Slyke comes from Syracuse, NY and she was a student at Westhill High School. As mentioned on the town’s Facebook page, she was a resident of Onondaga. Since she visits Syracuse-based family while Brian is on tour, it’s clear that her family still plays an important role in her life. However, not much is known about them.

Kelly studied hard and obtained a Biology degree. She managed this in 2007 while attending State University of New York Geneseo.

What Does She Do for a Living?

Obtaining a degree as challenging as biology, it’s clear that Kelly has much to offer in terms of building a career. Years ago she was a Pilates instructor and according to the Daily Mail she is now a radiation therapist. tvguidetime shares that she works at UC San Diego Radiation Oncology Center.

Kelly van Slyke: Can She Play Golf?

Kelly has been on golf courses often since she started dating Brian. However, there’s no particular sign of her taking up the game herself.

Kelly van Slyke: Social Media

You will find an Instagram profile for Kelly, and Brian has mentioned her handle in his own content shared on @harmanbrian. However, Kelly’s profile that has just over 800 followers, seems to be private.

Conclusion

Brian has stated that his wife enables him to focus on his career and that he thinks she is incredible.

This is clear from the facts above too. She is able to manage a household while also doing important work with patients, including those fighting cancer. And she looks stunning while managing all of this! We hope to see even more of her and their kids in future.
