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. Although he has never won a PGA Tour event, he finished tied for second at the 2004 Michelin Championship at Las Vegas. During the 2005 PGA Tour season he had his best year – finishing 91st on the money list and earning nearly $900,000.[2]

In July 2021, Ridings captured his first victory in nearly 19 years at the TPC Colorado Championship. He defeated David Skinns and Yu Chun-an in a playoff.[3]
