Who is Brian Harman’s wife?

Brian Harman will forever be remembered as a Champion Golfer after winning his first ever major at The Open in 2023.

Harman dominated the field at Royal Liverpool as he cruised to victory by six shots in golf’s oldest major.

From nowhere that victory earned him his first ever spot in the US Ryder Cup team as he automatically qualified for Zach Johnson’s team for the 2023 showdown in Rome.

But Harman’s wife was not in attendance at Hoylake to watch her husband’s finest hour in the sport.

Instead, his wife, Kelly Van Slyke, was 3000 miles away watching the American lift the Claret Jug on television.

According to US broadcaster Dan Hicks, Van Slyke was actually in New York spending time with family.

Hicks revealed on commentary that he had text her to find out if she was watching Harman midway through his final round on the Sunday, and she replied saying she had just returned from a four-mile walk.

So who is Brian Harman’s wife Kelly Van Slyke?

Brian Harman’s wife Kelly Van Slyke has been married to the American golfer since December 2014.

Harman shared the story of his proposal earlier that year, where he planned for his wife-to-be to find her engagement ring in the pockets of her new trousers.

“I videotaped the whole thing, her trying on the pants and finding the ring,” Harman recalled. “It was awesome.”

Van Slyke has experienced all the highs and lows of Harman’s career on the PGA Tour and in majors, from his first win at the John Deere Classic in 2014 up until the famous Open triumph in 2023.
