For English golfer Tyrrell Hatton, that partner is Emily Braisher–his wife, travel companion, and steady presence both on and off the course. While she may not be swinging clubs, Braisher has carved out her own identity within the golf world through her writing, sharp wit, and unwavering support. From her early days blogging as a “Wife on Tour” to standing beside Hatton during major career milestones, Braisher’s story is one of adaptability, humor, and quiet strength.
Here are five fast facts that paint a fuller picture of the woman behind one of golf’s fiercest competitors.
1. Buckinghamshire Beginnings & Academic Journey 🎓
Braisher hails from Buckinghamshire, England. She pursued higher education at Nottingham Trent University, graduating in 2020 with a degree in Fashion Communication and Promotion.
Braisher’s academic background has provided her with a solid foundation in media and communication–skills she later channeled into writing and travel blogging, complementing her life on tour.
After completing her degree, Braisher made a conscious decision to travel extensively with Hatton, attending tournaments across Europe, the U.S., and beyond. From an academic standpoint to a life of constant motion, Braisher’s transition exemplifies adaptability and resilience.
2. Sharing the Real WAG Lifestyle
Braisher launched her blog, “Wife on Tour,” recounting behind-the-scenes life as a golfer’s partner. As she explained:
“The ‘WAG’ (I hate the stereotype that comes along with that acronym) lifestyle can come across as nothing short of glamour and bliss, but in reality being away from home and living out of a suitcase can be really tough at times.”
What began as a candid outlet for a “girlfriend on tour” quickly graduated to “wife” status once she and Hatton married, but Emily explains the name felt right even before matrimony.
Her writings cover major moments like the U.S. Open, The Masters, Ryder Cups, and life on the road—highlighting both the highs and the grind. While it hasn’t been updated recently, the blog remains a rich snapshot of tour life.
3. A Romantic & Chaotic Wedding Day
The couple got engaged in December 2019 and tied the knot in Asheville, North Carolina in 2021. Their wedding day was far from picture-perfect:
“Our driver turned up an hour late, so that meant we arrived half an hour late for our ceremony,” Hatton said. “And then, because we wanted it in the Blue Ridge Parkway, we wanted to hike up and have some nice pictures.
“Unfortunately, after finishing the ceremony, it absolutely pissed down with rain, and we then had to drive like two miles down the road, pulled over in a lay-by and we had our wedding pictures on the side of the road. So, yeah, not quite as magical as you’d plan it.”
Despite the mishaps, Hatton later described the event as “still pretty special,” and Braisher’s calm presence helped navigate the chaos.
Their story underscores how, even when things go awry, connection and humor can prevail.
4. Partner, Caddie, and Comedic Interruptor
Braisher is by Hatton’s side at major events, from Ryder Cups (2018, 2021, 2023) to PGA and LIV tournaments.
She’s even stepped in as Hatton’s caddie at the Masters Par‑3 Contest, being playfully dubbed his “prettiest caddie.”
One humorous moment involved Braisher unintentionally slamming a portable toilet door mid‑round at the 2019 Italian Open, startling Hatton mid-swing. He paused, assessed the scene, and laughed it off, adding a real and relatable moment to their tour experience.
Her quick wit and genuine presence balance his intensity on-course–making their partnership deeply human and endearing.
5. Private Life, Major Moves & Residence Updates
Though Braisher maintains a private Instagram, and no longer posts widely to social media, her blog, candid support, and public presence remain highly visible.
She lives with Hatton primarily in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, with a secondary residence in Orlando, Florida.
When Hatton joined LIV Golf in 2024, Braisher was right there, supporting the decision and staying by his side as he transitioned.
