Bateman was born in Monroe, Louisiana, and went on to pay golf while at Louisiana State University, from where he gained a degree in marketing.  After leaving College, Bateman began playing golf professionally in 1996. He spent the initial years of his professional golf career playing on the Nationwide Tour, from 1997 to 2001. In 2001 he finished in joint 32nd place at qualifying school which earned him a place to play on the PGA Tour the following year. He won on the Tour for the first time in 2007, at the Buick Open. The 2009 season was a poor one for Bateman on the PGA Tour, and he lost his playing rights, meaning that he again commenced playing on the Nationwide Tour.
