Was entered in the two-man team event at the 2017 Zurich Classic of New Orleans with fellow Australian Rod Pampling but withdrew early before the tournament began for personal reasons. Announced later in the week that he was taking an indefinite break from the TOUR as his 13-year-old son, Jacob, was battling a brain tumor.

If he weren't playing golf, he would be "working on the sheep and cattle station owned by the in-laws."

Remains an avid supporter of the Brisbane Bronco's rugby league team.
