Born and raised in Spartanburg, SC – Tommy’s been swinging a golf club since age five and hasn’t stopped since. He racked up wins as a junior golfer, including the South Carolina Amateur Championship as a teenager, then played on a full scholarship at Clemson before turning pro.

His career took him from the Korn Ferry Tour to the PGA Tour, with highlights like competing in the 2012 U.S. Open and winning on multiple professional tours.
