Beliau ialah pemenang bersama (bersama bapanya, William Henry Bragg) dari Hadiah Nobel dalam Fizik pada tahun 1915: "Untuk perkhidmatan mereka dalam analisis struktur kristal melalui sinar-X",^[2] langkah penting dalam pembangunan kristalografi sinar-X.

Bragg dikurniakan kesatria pada tahun 1941.^[3] Pada tahun 2018, beliau ialah pemenang Nobel termuda dalam fizik, setelah menerima penghargaan pada usia 25 tahun.^[4] Bragg ialah pengarah Makmal Cavendish, Cambridge, ketika penemuan struktur DNA dilaporkan oleh James D.
