Hubbard secured one of the five Web.com Tour cards for the 2014 season after finishing the PGA Canada season ranked third on the Order of Merit.

During his first season on the PGA Tour, he had 15 out of 25 cuts in his first PGA Tour season, but his best accomplishment was only managed to finish T20.

Mark lost his PGA Tour card after finishing 164th in the FedEx Cup, regained it in the Web.com Tour Finals, but lost again in the FedEx Cup as he finished 115th.

Moreover, the American golfer booked his first win on the Web.com Tour at the LECOM Suncoast Classic and earned his PGA Tour card again after finishing ninth on the regular-season list.

Nathan graduated summa cum laude from Princeton University and received his MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Also, the Hubbard family is an avid pet lover with two canine companions.

Mark And Nathan Share An Unbreakable Bond

The two Hubbard brothers share a tight-knit bond. However, they have a slightly different way of showing their love.

They use sarcasm with a little touch of bullying, which is quite okay if you are close to each other.

A quick flashback, it was Nathan who called out Brooks Koepka to withdraw from the Travelers Championship last season, which allowed Mark Hubbard into the field.

Additionally, in 2022, when Mark was disqualified at Memorial Park Golf Club for “knowingly” adding a 15th golf club to his bag at the turn.

Mark’s brother expressed his disappointment after the DQ via Twitter.

His tweet read, “Toe surgery coming Monday. Baby coming any day. 11 million strokes off the cut. Hitting 60 yard spectator hazard slices due to wrong driver setting. Changed at turn to make most of last competitive 9 of the szn. Thought it was 2 shot penalty per use. Declared right away. DQ”

Further adding contrast to the incident, Dan Rapaport tweeted a statement from a PGA Tour official.

From a tour official: “He said he started with a Callaway driver that wasn’t spinning enough….missing a lot of fairways. So, thinking it would be a 2-stroke penalty for each use of a different driver, he “knowingly” switched to a Ping driver at the turn. My man went full YOLO.”

Nathan also mocked his brother by calling him an idiot and retweeted a post from PGA Tour’s official handle on Twitter.
