Blades Brown made PGA Tour history on Jan. 17 when he carded an eight-under 64 — the lowest score in a PGA Tour round by a player under the age of 18 in the past 40 years. At 17, Brown made his pro debut this week at the American Express golf tournament.

After a promising start, Nashville's Blades Brown had a rocky finish as he missed the cut in his first tournament as a professional golfer at the 2025 American Express.

In 2022, Parke Brown – Blade’s father – was given a somber diagnosis of bone cancer that carried with it a life expectancy of only a few months. After undergoing more test, doctors instead determined Parke had Hairy Cell Leukemia—a rare form of the disease that can’t be cured but is treatable with chemotherapy and frequent blood monitoring.
