Chamblee was born in St. Louis, Missouri. He graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in Speech Communication and was a first-team All-American in his junior year and twice a second-team All-American. He has a home in Phoenix, Arizona and has four children with his ex-wife Karen: sons Brandel Jr., Brennen, Braeden, and a daughter, Bergen. A memorial playground was set up at the Phoenix Children's Hospital for a son, Braeden, who died as an infant. He is now married to Bailey (Mosier) Chamblee, who is also a television personality. [4] Chamblee was inducted into the Irving Independent School District Hall of Fame Class of 2014.

Chamblee turned professional in 1985 and has one PGA Tour victory. He shared a first round lead at the 1999 Masters Tournament and for seven consecutive years (1995–2001) was among the top-100 for money earnings on the Tour. [5]

Chamblee lost his PGA Tour card in 2003, and since then has worked as the lead studio analyst for the Golf Channel, Golf Central and for its "Live From" coverage of major championships. [6]

In 2018, Chamblee returned to professional golf on the PGA Tour Champions. In 2023, after the news broke that Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund would become a minority investor in The PGA Tour, Chamblee has promoted his view that the Department Of Justice will block the deal. [7]
