THE PRIDE OF ARDMORE
Lee Hodges’ story is rooted in the small-town values of Ardmore, Alabama. Growing up in a town so small the state line runs down the middle of Main Street, Lee’s competitive fire was stoked early at Canebrake Club. At just 14 years old, he won the club championship, a moment he once thought would be the pinnacle of his career. Today, he doesn't just play the course; he owns it, having become a co-owner of Canebrake Club in 2024 to give back to the community that raised him.
A lifelong University of Alabama fan, Lee realized his dream of playing for the Crimson Tide after starting his collegiate career at UAB. His journey from a standout amateur to a dominant PGA TOUR winner is a testament to the "Roll Tide" spirit he carries into every round.
BREAKTHROUGH ON THE BIG STAGE
Lee cemented his status as a premier talent on the PGA TOUR with a historic performance at the 2023 3M Open. In a masterclass of precision and composure, he secured a wire-to-wire victory, winning by a staggering seven strokes and setting the tournament scoring record. Known for his elite iron play and "unflappable" demeanor, Lee continues to be a consistent threat at the highest level of professional golf.
