Tragedy has struck the golfing world.
Bart Bryant, a three-time winner on the Tour, tragically lost his life in a car accident, according to a statement from the PGA Tour. He was just 59 years old.
“The PGA TOUR is saddened by the tragic passing of Bart Bryant and our hearts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. “The Bryants have been a part of the PGA TOUR family for over four decades and we are grateful for the impact and legacy he made on our organization and countless communities. Bart will be dearly missed.”
Bryant’s professional golfing career started in 1986 and he did not get his first victory until after he turned 40 years old. However, he ended up winning two of the biggest events the sport has to offer, the Memorial Tournament and the TOUR Championship.
He is survived by wife Donna, daughters Kristen and Michelle and his stepchildren.
