Three-time PGA Tour winner Bart Bryant has tragically died at the age of 59 after being involved in a fatal car accident on Tuesday. Bryant initially turned professional back in 1986, but struggled to compete during the early stages of his career due injury.
The American even considered calling time on his career during the 1990’s due to effects of his injury problems. Bryant’s time finally came in the early 2000’s though, after he collected three PGA Tour titles in the space of 14 months between September 2004 and November 2005.
His maiden win came at the 2004 Valero Texas Open, before doubling his tally at the 2005 Memorial Tournament, which takes place this week, with the anniversary of his win coming exactly 17 years on Sunday. Arguably Bryant’s most impressive win came four months later at the Tour Championship.
