Early life

Iles was born in Murupara, New Zealand. At the age of 10, Iles got started with the game of golf due to his mother's influence.

Professional career

In 2005, Iles turned professional. Iles has never won on the Nationwide Tour, but has come close, losing in a two-hole playoff at the Knoxville Open to Kevin Johnson.

In about 2006, U.S. Open Champion and fellow New Zealander Michael Campbell called Iles the "best talent to come out of New Zealand in a long time." [1]

Personal

In July 2004, Iles suffered a brain injury, which sent him into a three-day coma. [2]
