Thomas J. Biddle, Jr.

Born into a polo family, Tommy Biddle grew up in Aiken, South Carolina. At the age of 12, he played in his first game and turned pro at 18. At 6’3”, with a football player’s build, his presence on the field looms large, literally and figuratively. Once called “the quickest big man to ever play in the sport,” Biddle is a rare player who has achieved greatness in both genres of polo: outdoor and arena. He became the fourth in arena history to achieve a 10-goal handicap, while also maintaining an 8-goal outdoor rating. His list of accolades includes the 2002 U.S. Open, four Monty Waterbury Cups, four Townsend Cups and a U.S. Open Arena championship. Adding to his accomplishments, Biddle has become a well-respected umpire, with USPA Umpires, LLC, certification.
