==Early life and amateur career== Rodgers was born in [[Avon, Indiana]]. He played golf at [[Avon High School (Indiana)|Avon High School]] for all four years.

Rodgers then attended college at [[Stanford University]] and played golf for three years, where he won 11 times, tying the record set by [[Tiger Woods]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.36699.patrick-rodgers.html/profile |title=Patrick Rodgers profile |publisher=PGA Tour |accessdate=February 9, 2015}}</ref> Rodgers was given the [[Ben Hogan Award]] and was the number one ranked golfer in the [[World Amateur Golf Ranking]] for 16 weeks in early 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.wagr.com/en/News/2014/June/Week-24.aspx |title=Week 24: Schniederjans becomes world number one |publisher=World Amateur Golf Ranking |date=June 2014}}</ref>

==Professional career== After turning professional in June 2014, Rodgers played on the [[PGA Tour]] via sponsor's exemptions. He earned enough non-member [[FedEx Cup]] points to qualify for the [[Web.com Tour Finals]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://calgolfnews.com/2014/08/28/rodgers-sidelined-by-oblique-injury.html |title=Rodgers sidelined by oblique injury |first=Tom |last=LaMarre |date=August 28, 2014 |publisher=California Golf |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150209235126/http://calgolfnews.com/2014/08/28/rodgers-sidelined-by-oblique-injury.html |archivedate=February 9, 2015 }}</ref> He finished T-8 at the [[Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship]]. Overall, he finished 58th in the Finals, earning enough to get his 2015 [[Web.com Tour]] card. He won the second event of the season at the [[Pacific Rubiales Colombia Championship]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/12297693/patrick-rodgers-wins-webcom-tour-colombia-championship-playoff |title=Patrick Rodgers wins in playoff |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press |date=February 8, 2015}}</ref> In May he finished T-2 at the [[Wells Fargo Championship]] on the PGA Tour<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/2015/05/17/avons-patrick-rodgers-ties-nd-wells-fargo-championship/27504023 |title=Avon's Patrick Rodgers ties for 2nd at Wells Fargo Championship |work=The Indianapolis Star |agency=Associated Press |date=May 17, 2015}}</ref> playing on a sponsor's exemption.

Rodgers earned "Special Temporary Member" status on the PGA Tour for 2015 after finishing T40 at the [[Memorial Tournament]]. He later finished 24th on the 2015 Web.com Tour money list, earning a PGA Tour card for the 2015–16 season. Even with the finish, he was not allowed to compete in the 2015 [[Web.com Tour Finals]] since he also accumulated enough FedEx Cup points to place inside the Top 125. He also could not compete in the 2015 [[FedEx Cup]] because Special Temporary Membership does not qualify a player for the FedExCup Playoffs; had he won a PGA Tour tournament, he would have earned full membership and become eligible for the playoffs. He appeared on EA Sports' [[Rory McIlroy PGA Tour]] game as a new golfer in 2015.

Rodgers opened the 2016 season with top-20 finishes in his first four events. From April through July, however, his form dipped as he made only six of 12 cuts and did not record a finish higher than T31. He nearly won the [[Travelers Championship]] in August, finishing T3, two shots behind the champion, [[Russell Knox]]. Having qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs for the first time in his career, he was eliminated after the second playoff event, the [[Dell Technologies Championship|Deutsche Bank Championship]], and ended 2016 ranked 62nd in the season-long standings.

The 2017 season began significantly worse for Rodgers than the 2016 season had. He missed the cut in five of his first eight tournaments, sandwiching top-10 finishes in the [[RSM Classic]] (T10) and the [[Farmers Insurance Open]] (T4) between early weekend exits. He shared the 54-hole lead at the Farmers with [[Brandt Snedeker]], but shot a lackluster even-par 72 in the final round to finish four shots behind eventual champion [[Jon Rahm]]. Seven missed cuts in eight events followed, and Rodgers plummeted from 43rd in the FedExCup standings in January to 114th by June. Out of nowhere, Rodgers led the [[John Deere Classic]] by two strokes entering the final round. He appeared on his way to his first PGA Tour victory, going 3-under through 13 holes in the final round. He played the last five holes 1-over, however, opening the door for [[Bryson DeChambeau]] to claim the tournament with a back-nine 30 and a 15-foot birdie on the final green. Despite the heartbreaking finish, Rodgers recorded his career-best finish on the PGA Tour and earned enough FedExCup points to assure he would keep his card for the 2017–18 season.

In the final event of 2018, Rodgers came close to winning his first PGA Tour title, after firing rounds of 61-62 at the weekend of the [[RSM Classic]] to enter a playoff with [[Charles Howell III]]. He lost the playoff on the second extra hole, when Howell III holed a birdie putt after Rodgers had missed his from a similar distance.

==Personal life== As of December 2016, Rodgers has been in a relationship with [[Jade Olivia Gordon]], who is a British stunt coordinator and film assistant. The two became engaged on December 28, 2017, and married on May 26, 2019, at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens in Miami, Florida. They currently reside together in a home they purchased in Jupiter, Florida. The couple have two children.
