Bradley Iles (born 23 August 1983) is a professional golfer from New Zealand who currently plays on the Nationwide Tour.
Iles was born in Murupara, New Zealand. He turned professional in 2005.
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.
Iles got started with the game of golf at the age of 10 due to his mother's influence.
In July 2004, Iles suffered a brain injury, which sent him into a three-day coma. [1]
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." [2]
