Born in Winfield, Illinois, Streelman, who caddied at famed three-time U.S. Open venue Chicago Golf Club while growing up, graduated from Wheaton Warrenville South High School in 1997 and Duke University in 2001, and is a member of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity.

In March 2013, during his 153rd start on Tour, Streelman achieved his first victory at the Tampa Bay Championship.
