Brandi Jackson

How I got here…

I have been a golfer since I first picked up a club as a toddler. I started playing tournaments when I was 8 and had a dream from an early age to go to Furman University and play on the LPGA Tour one day. While I loved playing all sports like volleyball and basketball, golf was always my main focus and passion. After a successful amateur and college career as a Furman Lady Paladin, winning the SoCon Player of the Year, earning WGCA All-American honors, and finishing runner-up at the US Women’s Am, I earned my LPGA Tour card on my first attempt in 2003. From 2003 to 2010, I played on the LPGA Tour and Symetra Tours as I fought my way to earn a living as a professional golfer. I had the amazing opportunity to travel around the country and play with the best female golfers in the world. Throughout my professional career, I had some stretches of success, even playing in 3 US Women’s Open and the LPGA Tour Championship, but during the 2010 season, I discovered I had a new passion and direction for my life.

While still competing on the LPGA Tour in 2009, I connected with a large college recruiting company to begin working as an educational college recruiting speaker. After failing to maintain my LPGA status for the 2010 season, I took on an additional role to work more directly with the junior golfers. I began to see additional ways that I could assist the junior players using my playing experience and being able to spend more time mentoring and consulting them individually, so I left that company and started Brandi Jackson Golf in 2011.

And I have NEVER looked back.

To say that starting Brandi Jackson Golf was life-changing would not even do it justice. I originally thought that my mission was simply to help junior golfers find a place to play college golf but I quickly found out there was much more to it.

Through several different platforms and programs, I have the opportunity to not only help young female golfers find a college golf home but also teach them life, personal, and professional skills that will take them far beyond their college golf days. This has truly become the heart of Brandi Jackson Golf!
