The chances of twins being born are 1 in 250. Now both siblings going down the same career path is certainly far rarer. And both ended up at the same place in their same career paths, which is unquestionably one of the rarest possibilities. And yet the PGA Tour will now be witnessing that rare instant. A pair of twins, the Coody brothers, have, against all odds, found themselves spots on the same PGA Tour event this week. Oh, what a sight—truly one for the golf history books!

The tale of the Coody brothers and the PGA Tour

Brentley Romine, a writer for Golf Channel, recently took to Instagram to announce the bizarrely pleasant news of the twins. “@pierceson_coody is already in @TheHondaClassic field via a sponsor exemption,” he wrote. “His twin brother @parker_coody just birdied the first playoff hole of the Monday qualifier to get in the field as well.”

Pierceson had received a sponsor exemption and had been confirmed on the field of the Honda Classic Earlier this year. And now in a twist of fate, his twin, Parker will be right alongside him. He birdied the first playoff hole at the Monday qualifier for the tournament to earn himself one of four qualifying spots and put him on the field in Florida.

Although the two have previously played on the Tour, Pierceson competing in two events in 2021, and Parker at 1 event in 2020, it will be the first time the duo plays in the same event competing against each other. And it certainly will be fun to watch two youngsters born just seconds apart fight toe-to-toe.

The Coody Brothers’ history with golf

Both Parker and Pierceson aren’t the first golfers in their family. In fact, the golf gene runs deep in the Coody bloodline. Their grandfather, Charles Coody, was a golf professional too. And not just any ordinary pro. He was a Masters winner, and in 1971 he beat golf legend Jack Nicklaus to grab the win!

Their grandfather has certainly had a huge impact on their lives, and the two are rapidly following in his footsteps. Following high school, they attended the University of Texas, in Austin and played golf there. In 2022, both the brothers turned pro and officially started their careers.

Although they began separately, with Pierceson playing on the Korn Ferry Tour and Parker competing on the PGA Tour Canada. They are now both playing side by side on the KF Tour, with Pierson narrowly missing promotion to the PGA Tour last year due to an injury, and Parker winning in Canada and securing himself a Tour card for 2023.
