Ridings was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.[1] His father, an Oklahoma club professional, started him in golf.[2] Ridings played at the University of Arkansas, graduating in 1997 with a degree in marketing; he turned professional later that year.[1]

Ridings has played the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour since 2002, earning over three million dollars on the PGA Tour.
