Jillian Stacey is the longtime girlfriend of PGA Tour pro Keegan Bradley, the 2011 PGA Tour Rookie of the Year.
Judging by their social media accounts, the Northeast natives live a fun life, traveling about and enjoying life on the road as Bradley competes on the Tour.
Bradley, 29, and Stacey are both Vermont natives.

As stated above, Stacey’s boyfriend is PGA Tour pro Keegan Bradley.
The couple has been for years, though there has been no talk of marriage — publicly, at least.
She often travels to his tournaments during the season and made the trip to Scotland for the 2014 Ryder Cup, when Keegan played for the American team. Europe won that year 16.5-11.5.
Bradley was always a USA team member for the 2012 Ryder Cup, which was played at Medinah Country Club in Illinois. Jillian also made an appearance there.
2. Both Are New England Natives

Both Stacey and Bradley are from New England and they let it be known in their preferences in sports teams.
Jillian and Keegan are huge sports fans, citing their favorite squads as the Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins and New England Patriots.
Jillian is from White River Junction, Vermont and graduated high school in 2006. She then attended Eastern Connecticut State.
But you don’t see many professional golfers living in the Northeast, so they have relocated to Jupiter, Florida, where Keegan can work on his game nearly all-year round.
3. Bradley Won the 2011 PGA Championship

After toiling in the “minor leagues” of golf from 2008-10, Bradley earned his PGA Tour card in 2011 and made a huge splash.
In May that year, he won his first PGA event, the Byron Nelson Championship in a playoff over Ryan Palmer.
But the biggest of his 3 wins came in August 2011 at the PGA Championship, golf’s fourth and final major of the season. Bradley defeated good friend Jason Dufner in a 3-hole playoff for the victory.
For his efforts, Bradley won the 2011 Rookie of the Year.
