Evan Schiller: Golf Course Photographer

In this episode of Invested in the Game, Mason Reed interviews golf course photographer Evan Schiller about his journey from competitive golfer to one of the most recognized visual storytellers in golf. Evan shares how his father introduced him to the game, how junior and high‑school golf led to college golf and professional attempts, and how an unexpected moment at PGA WEST® inspired him to pick up a camera for the first time.

Evan describes the early days of taking film photos during practice rounds, how displaying prints in a pro shop led to his first sales, and how a hobby organically evolved into a career—long before email, social media, or drones made it easier. He discusses why photography matters, both as inspiration and as a trigger for powerful memories, and breaks down what makes a compelling image. 

Evan and Mason also discuss golf's most visually stunning venues, bucket‑list courses Evan still hopes to photograph, and broader trends in golf—especially the rise of destination golf and how photography helps people connect emotionally to places where they've played or dream of playing.
