Bob Schneider is an international lawn bowler from the United States.[1][2] He is a four times national champion of the United States.[1]

Bowls career[edit]

Schneider came to prominence after winning the United States national championship singles in 2004.[3]

After three national pairs titles in 2006, 2009 and 2015 he was selected to represent the United States at the sport's blue riband event, the 2020 World Outdoor Bowls Championship in Australia. Unfortunately the Championships were cancelled following the COVID-19 pandemic.[4]

In 2023, he will finally represent the US team at the World Championships, after being selected for the 2023 World Bowls Championship.[5] He participated in the men's pairs and the men's fours events.[6][7]
