Svoboda was born in New Rochelle, New York. He played college golf at St. Johns University in New York City. He won 14 college tournaments including the 2001 Big East Conference Championship.[1]

Svoboda played on the Hooters Tour from 2005 to 2009, winning once.[2] In 2009, he finished 49th at Qualifying School[3] to earn a place on the Web.com Tour, where he played from 2010 to 2012.

He earned his 2013 PGA Tour card by finishing 21st on the Web.com Tour money list in 2012.[2] He played on the PGA Tour in 2013, but also played a few events on the Web.com Tour as he struggled on the PGA Tour.
