High school career
Redman was born in Raleigh, North Carolina.[2] He was the North Carolina AAAA state champion as a senior and all-state four years in high school.[3]
College career
Competing for the Clemson Tigers, Redman won both the Jackrabbit and the Ka'anapali Classic in the fall of his freshman year.[4][5]
Amateur career
Redman won the 2017 U.S. Amateur, after finishing 62nd out of 64 in the stroke play qualifier.[6] He was also runner-up at the 2017 Western Amateur, losing in a playoff.[7]
Redman competed in the 2017 Walker Cup.[8]
Professional career
Redman turned professional following the 2018 NCAA Golf Championship and made his professional debut at the Memorial Tournament.[9] By turning pro, he forfeited his exemptions into the 2018 U.S. Open and 2018 Open Championship which he earned via his U.S. Amateur win.[10]
In June 2019, Redman shot a 62 to Monday qualify for the Rocket Mortgage Classic. In the tournament, he shot 68-67-67-67 and finished solo second to Nate Lashley, who ironically got into the field as an alternate after failing to secure his spot through the same qualifier. This earned him $788,400, entry into the 2019 Open Championship and Special Temporary Membership on the PGA Tour for the rest of the season, after starting 2019 on the third-tier Mackenzie Tour.[11] Although he played in only six PGA events during the 2018–19 season, the 400 points he earned as a nonmember were just enough to surpass the 376 points needed to qualify for PGA Tour membership in the 2019–20 season.
