'''''The Big Break II''''' first aired on September 27, 2004. The majority of the series was filmed at the Stallion Mountain Country Club in [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], though the matchplay final was held at Vegas' Bali Hai Golf Club. The winner of this edition picked up exemptions into four selected [[Nationwide Tour]] events in 2005 (all of which aired on The Golf Channel), a $10,000 cash prize, and a new [[Ford Five Hundred]]{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}.

The second season's ten hopefuls were Don Donatello of [[Lake Mary, Florida]]; Jay McNair of [[Brandon, Florida]]; Kip Henley III of [[Crossville, Tennessee]]; Bart Lower of [[Ann Arbor, Michigan]]; David Gunas Jr. of [[Amston, Connecticut]]; Sean Daly of [[San Luis Obispo, California]]; John Turk of [[Melbourne, Florida]]; Mike Foster Jr. of [[Savannah, Georgia]]; Shelby Chrest of [[Olds, Alberta]]; and Scott Yancy III of [[Glen Carbon, Illinois]]{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}. Smith returned to host, this time, joined by Lesley Swanson. Henley and Donatello were the final two, and their match needed two extra playoff holes, with Henley eventually winning. Lower also received a prize{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}. A viewer poll determined that of the eight previously eliminated contestants, Lower deserved another chance at his "big break," and with 37% of the vote, more than anyone else, Lower was invited to take part in ''The Big Break IV'', which he accepted{{Citation needed|date=January 2010}}. Henley notes in this [http://www.thegolfchannel.com/core.aspx?page=15100&dv=7443333&select=15746 diary entry] that he has gained further awards since his victory. On April 27, 2005, Henley qualified for the [[PGA Tour]]'s [[FedEx St. Jude Classic]], and qualified for it again in 2011 by winning a local PGA qualifier.
