Professional career

Redman turned professional following the 2018 NCAA Golf Championship and made his professional debut at the Memorial Tournament.[8] By turning pro, he forfeited his exemptions into the 2018 U.S. Open and 2018 Open Championship which he earned via his U.S. Amateur win.[9]

In June 2019, Redman shot a 62 to Monday qualify for the Rocket Mortgage Classic. In the tournament, he shot 68-67-67-67 and finished solo second to Nate Lashley, who ironically got into the field as an alternate after failing to secure his spot through the same qualifier. This earned him $788,400, entry into the 2019 Open Championship and Special Temporary Membership on the PGA Tour for the rest of the season, after starting 2019 on the third-tier Mackenzie Tour.[10] Although he played in only six PGA events during the 2018–19 season, the 400 points he earned as a nonmember were just enough to surpass the 376 points needed to qualify for PGA Tour membership in the 2019–20 season. In 2020, he qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs, where he ranked number 71, just missing the BMW Championship. In 2021, Redman tied for third in the Safeway Open. At the Palmetto Championship, he finished in a six-way tie for second.
