Andrew Novak has risen up the ranks since turning professional in 2017, with an early high point being his first win since leaving the amateur game behind in the 2020 LECOM Suncoast Classic.
Later that year, he hit another big life milestone – his wedding, when he married his partner since college days, Maddie. But who is she? Here’s what we know about her.
Maddie attended Wofford College in South Carolina, graduating in 2019. However, she began dating Andrew several years before then, in 2016, while he was also at the college.
While details of Maddie’s professional life are unknown, she has been hugely supportive of Andrew's career throughout their time together, regularly attending his events.
In December 2020, Andrew and Maddie tied the knot, with Maddie writing on Instagram: “This weekend I got to marry my best friend & it was the best weekend ever.”
Andrew’s career took another big upturn in August 2021, when he earned his PGA Tour card, and once again, Maddie was there to support him. Afterwards, she again took to Instagram to write: “I’m so proud of you & I can’t wait to keep cheering you on every step of the way @pgatour, here we come!”
Andrew has certainly made the most of his PGA Tour chance, with several top-10 finishes, including runner-up at the 2024 Butterfield Bermuda Championship.

Andrew then finished third twice in the opening months of the 2025 season at the Farmers Insurance Open and the Valero Texas Open, before he narrowly missed out on his maiden PGA Tour title, losing in a playoff to Justin Thomas at the RBC Heritage.
He didn't need to wait long for his maiden PGA Tour victory, which came just a week later at the team event, the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, where he joined forces with Ben Griffin to win.
To cap his memorable year, he won the mixed team event, the Grant Thornton Invitational, alongside the LPGA Tour's Lauren Coughlin.
Following the achievement, Maddie was there to congratulate him along with their baby daughter, Laney. Andrew took to Instagram afterwards, writing: "First win as a dad."
The three were also together the following April at the Masters Par-3 Contest, which was held before his maiden appearance at the Major.

With a secure family life, Andrew continues to impress on the course, including at the 2026 VidantaWorld Mexico Open, where he led by six with one round remaining.
Considering Maddie's regular appearances to see her husband compete, there’s no doubt that she is a huge supporter ready to continue backing him all the way as his career reaches new heights.
