Eichelberger was born in Waco, Texas. He started in the game at the age of 13 in the junior programs at his family's golf club in Waco. He attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, Oklahoma; and while there blossomed into an outstanding amateur. He led the Oklahoma State Cowboys to the 1963 NCAA Championship. He graduated in 1965 and turned pro in 1966. Eichelberger has twelve professional victories. Four of which came on the PGA Tour, plus six Champions Tour triumphs. In 1971, he finished 9th on the PGA Tour money list.

Eichelberger made 784 PGA Tour starts, as of February 2022, 4th most in the history of the tour, and made the cut in 457 of them. Only Mark Brooks, Jay Haas and Davis Love III had more starts.
