Four years after surviving a major car crash that required nearly two years of rehab, a golf instructor will compete against the best in the world.
Braden Shattuck is a golf pro, earning his living by providing golf lessons at a Springfield, Pennsylvania, golf club.
Shattuck qualified for this year’s PGA Championship by winning the 2023 PGA Professional Championship. The tournament is intended for golfers like Shattuck who work as pros at local golf courses. The tournament earmarks 20 spots annually for golfers like Shattuck. They are among 28,000 golfers who are members of the PGA — a separate organization from the PGA Tour.

Even now walking is still a little tough on my body.”Shattuck said he’s fortunate to be able to golf again, and is “playing on house money.
