Kuehne was born in Dallas, Texas.[1] His father started him playing golf at a young age. He has a sister (Kelli) who plays on the LPGA Tour, and a brother (Trip) who finished second to Tiger Woods in the 1994 U.S. Amateur[2] and remains an amateur.[3] Kuehne began his college career at Oklahoma State University, but later transferred to Southern Methodist University,[3] where he earned All-American honors three times as a member of the golf team (third team in 1996, second team in 1998, and honorable mention in 1999).[4] He won the 1998 U.S. Amateur[2] and played on the 1998 U.S. Eisenhower Trophy team.[3] He graduated from SMU in 1999 with a degree in communications and turned professional.[1]

In 2003, he won the Tour's Driving Distance title, unseating John Daly who had won eight consecutive titles and 11 in total.[3][5]
