Freshman (2024-25)
Brodie Cunningham produced one of the best freshman seasons ever by a Nebraska golfer with a school freshman-record 72.61 stroke average over 23 rounds in 2024-25. The young player from Glasgow, Scotland also tied the Husker single-round record with a 66 (-4) in the final round of the Tiger Intercollegiate (April 8).

Cunningham became a consistent force for the Huskers in the spring with four straight top-15 finishes, including a tie for 14th to lead NU to a season-best runner-up finish at the Robert Kepler Invitational (April 18-19). He managed rounds of 73, 72 and 77 to finish at 222 (+9) on the par-71, 7,455-yard layout of the Scarlet Course in Columbus, Ohio. His effort in Ohio included his fourth eagle of the season on the par-5 fourth hole in the second round (April 17).

His performance followed a tie for eighth at the Tiger Intercollegiate (April 7-8), which included a career-best 66 (-4) on the 7,158-yard layout of The Club at Old Hawthorne. He finished at 213 (+3), including an opening-round 69 (-1).

Cunningham notched the best performance of his career with a tie for third at the Bell Bank “Pay It Forward” Collegiate in Arizona (March 24-25). He capped a career-best three-round total of 209 (-7) with a then-career-best 69 (-3) on the 7,021-yard layout at the Wigwam Resort. He opened with back-to-back rounds of 70 (-2) to set up the first top-five finish of his career. His performance included eagles on the par-5, 535-yard 14th hole in the second and third rounds.

His finish in Arizona followed a tie for 13th at 141 (+1) in the weather-shortened Johnnie-O at Sea Island (March 17-18). He opened with an even-par 70 on the 6,933-yard course before adding a second-round 71 (+1).

He made a strong debut by finishing 13th in a 65-player field at Nebraska’s Git-R-Done Invitational (Sept. 23-24). Cunningham covered a par-71, 7,003-yard layout at Firethorn Golf Club in Lincoln with a 212 (-1) that included an opening-round 70 and back-to-back rounds of 71 while playing as an individual in Nebraska’s “B” lineup at the tournament.

He earned his first lineup spot at the Badger Invite in Verona, Wis. (Sept. 29-Oct. 1). Cunningham tied for 63rd in a 90-player field with a 228 (+12), while his opening-round 73 and second-round 72 both counted toward Nebraska’s team score. He played his first five collegiate rounds at 73 or better.

He returned to Nebraska’s lineup to open the spring as NU’s No. 3 finisher at the Palmas Del Mar Collegiate in Puerto Rico (Feb. 9-11). Cunningham tied for 32nd with a 218 (+2), including an opening-round 71 (-1) on the 7,122-yard layout of the Flamboyan Course. He closed with rounds of 74 and 73.

Cunningham ended his freshman campaign by tying for 82nd with a 227 (+17) at the Big Ten Championship (April 25-27). After opening with a 78, Cunningham fought back to card rounds of 74 and 75 on the par-70 layout of the Baltimore Country Club.

Before Nebraska
In early June of 2023, Cunningham won the Barrie Douglas Scottish Junior Masters with a 207 that included a second-round 63 at the Strathmore Golf Centre in Scotland. Less than three weeks later, he added a victory at The Foundations Trophy at Blairgowrie Golf Club in Scotland with a four-round total of 285 that included a third-round 67.

He added a fourth-place individual finish at the European Boys Team Championships in Slovakia, while also finishing sixth at the ProDreamUSA Junior Masters at Pollock Golf Club in Scotland in early July. Overall, he produced seven top-10 individual finishes in 16 European tournaments from April to October of 2023.

Cunningham signed with the Huskers as a 16-year-old in November of 2023.

He repeated as the Barrie Douglas Scottish Junior Masters Champion in 2024, before tying for second at the European Boys Amateur Team Championship (Division 2) in Krakow, Poland in July. He added a top-10 individual finish at the 2024 Scottish Boys Open Championship in April, taking eighth.

He also competed at the Scottish Men’s Open Championship at Muirfield in May of 2024, managing rounds of 72 and 73.

Personal
The son of Sian and Allen Cunningham, Brodie is  majoring in finance and earned spots on the Nebraska Scholar-Athlete Honor Roll in the fall and spring semesters of 2024-25. He was also a member of the 2025 Tom Osborne Citizenship Team.

“I chose Nebraska because of how well they treat their student-athletes in regards to helping them within the classroom, gym, nutrition and much more,” Cunningham said. “Along with that is how nice the people are at Nebraska. They are constantly investing in their academic and athletic departments, which means they are always improving.”
