Tom Hoge’s wife, Kelly Hoge, is often seen on the greens accompanying her husband during his games. She has played a key part in his journey for all these years. Recently, Kelly caddied for Hoge in the annual Par 3 Contest on the grounds of Augusta National, where the golfer registered a hole-in-one.

Kelly Hoge (formerly known as Kelly Lorraine O’Brien) hails from Minnesota and was born on June 18, 1991. The golfer’s wife grew up in Maple Grove, went to Maple Grove Senior High School, and has a history with golf as well. She earned a degree in marketing major, but her career details remain publicly unknown. The couple has many shared interests, and the one that is closest to their hearts is golf. Certainly, the sport played a pivotal role in drawing Kelly closer to her man!

When did Kelly meet Tom Hoge?

This couple met on a golf course for the first time at Rush Creek while playing junior golf events in Minnesota. The couple was in a long-distance relationship for a while. After Kelly graduated, she joined him on the road as he played the Korn Ferry Tour. She also shared a heart-melting story about going out with the PGA Tour star when Hoge picked up his sweetheart in a minivan and took her to a steakhouse, The Keg.

Kelly ordered the biggest prime rib on the menu: “My husband’s like, ‘I’m sold. This girl’s ordering prime rib on the first date. I’m done.’’ said Kelly, according to the official PGA Tour site. After their romantic relationship started in 2013, the couple enjoyed dating for 4 years, and on December 3, 2017, they tied the knot in Marco Island, Florida. The couple does not have any children and is based in Fort Worth, Texas.

Kelly is the biggest supporter of the golfer and joins him in almost all of his games, not just as a wife but also because she understands the ups and downs Hoge goes through while playing on different courses. “I always bring up the positives and all the great shots he hit, and never the negativity because golf is such a mental game.” Although she doesn’t prefer to discuss golf with her husband because then it feels that she is bringing work home. She has, however, also caddied for her husband in several Monday qualifiers early in his career, like the Honda Classic in 2022, where he was in great form.

However, they have a different perspective on the game, and that adds a different dynamic to their relationship. Apart from being together on the golf course, this cute pair also likes to travel whenever they can grab some off-course time, according to Hoge’s Instagram account. The PGA Tour player shared a few pictures with his wife, enjoying fishing and skiing as well.

Tom is not the only man associated with golf in Kelly’s life. Her father was also into golf back in his young days.

Kelly Hoge: Parents, siblings, and more!

Kelly Hoge is the daughter of Mike and Tammy O’Brien and has a brother, Ryan O’Brien. Mike is also an avid golfer and is a long-time cardholder. Following in her dad’s footsteps, Kelly also has a good eye for the sport; that’s how golf became her passion. The lady herself was actively involved in the sport and positioned as a team captain twice during her school time.

Later, she attended Montana State University, where she was again a part of the golf roster in 2011–2012. Additionally, Kelly Hoge was honored as Big Sky Golfer of the Week and tied for the first position at the Bengal Classic.

The golfer’s wife remains low-key on her social media; however, she keeps on sharing Hoge’s game updates on her X account regularly. Moreover, along with golf, the lady is a huge foodie too. In her own words, “I have a high metabolism. I mean, I eat like a small horse.”

The perfect woman, Kelly Hoge, has been a best friend, caddie, biggest fan, and supportive life partner for the golfer for many years now, and certainly for many years to come.
