This past June, Tyler, age 38, was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma to the brain.
When Tyler was a young boy, he and his older brother visited his grandparents in Aiken, South Carolina. His grandparents took him to a practice round at the Masters Golf Tournament. Since that time Tyler has been an avid golfer. He went to school at the Golf Academy of America in Orlanda, Florida. He then followed his schooling up, with an extensive golf career, serving as an assistant golf director in several golf courses in Illinois, Arizona and Missouri.
It has been a dream of his to attend the Masters Golf Tournament to experience the actual tournament to enjoy the golf and follow some of his favorite golfers. A parent made a wish on his behalf to grant him the opportunity to attend and their wish has been granted!
