Bradley Iles (born 23 August 1983) is a professional golfer from New Zealand who currently plays on the Nationwide Tour.

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."{{cite news |last=Singh |first=Anendra |date=29 March 2006 |title=Golf: I don't care about money says Iles |work=Hawke's Bay Today |url=http://www.hawkesbaytoday.co.nz/news/golf-i-dont-care-about-money-says-iles/959156/ |url-status=dead |accessdate=22 February 2013 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130413223430/http://www.hawkesbaytoday.co.nz/news/golf-i-dont-care-about-money-says-iles/959156/ |archive-date=13 April 2013}}
