Jarrod Lyle and his family revealed on Tuesday that the former PGA Tour player’s body was no longer able to fight its battle against leukemia.
Lyle, a peer favorite on every tour on which he competed, has been placed on palliative care. Upon hearing the news, the golf world reacted with sadness.
Man this is a tough one.
