Russell Henley has been on fire in 2025, earning his spot on Team USA for the Ryder Cup. But while his game has the spotlight, fans are just as curious about the woman who’s been cheering him on from the sidelines: his wife, Teil Duncan. She’s not just “the golfer’s wife” either; Teil is an established artist with a style and career that stand completely on their own.
Who is Russell Henley's wife Teil Duncan?
Russell Henley is married to Teil Duncan. Teil Duncan is an artist and hails from Columbus, Georgia. Duncan was born in 1988 and majored in Art at Auburn University. She had been a keen follower of art and became very popular due to her daring and colorful paintings.
Her pieces, which are occasionally adorned with beach, people, and lively abstractions, have gotten her the chances to collaborate with the likes of Anthropologie and Abercrombie and Fitch.
She has started her own creative company, Teil Paintings & Patterns and has extended her designs into fabrics and wall coverings. She is also a book author and published a book, The Color Teil, which is a glimpse into her artistic journey for her fans.
How Russell Henley and Teil Duncan first met and tied the knot
Their story starts in 2013 at a wedding. Teil’s sister married one of Russell’s childhood friends, and that’s where the two first crossed paths. Things moved quickly and by 2014, they were engaged, and in October 2015, they said “I do” in Georgia. Since then, Teil has been by Russell’s side through the highs and lows of professional golf.
Inside Russell Henley and Teil Duncan’s family life with three children
The couple doesn’t share a ton publicly, but they’re raising three kids together: Robert, Ruth, and Jane. After his win at the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational, Russell even called Teil the one who
“puts steel in his spine,” balancing family life while building her own career.
Their home life in Georgia looks pretty different from the intensity of the PGA Tour, and is more about family time, creativity, and parenting three little ones.
At the end of the day, Russell may bring home the trophies, but Teil is a star in her own right. Between her growing art empire and their life with three kids, the Henleys are proof that there’s more to a sports star’s story than what happens on the course.
