Chris Riley brings indelible positive message to UNLV men’s golf

As a UNLV Rebel, Chris Riley was a four-time All American and one of the best golfers in program history. There’s no doubt he was a memorable player but it was his infectious personality and positivity that left an indelible impression on most who knew him.

Following his Rebel days, Riley, 42, went on to become a PGA Tour champion and earn millions in addition to representing the United States in the 2004 Ryder Cup. His full-time playing days are over and now Riley is a volunteer assistant for his old team, helping the next generation attempt to live their dreams just as he did.
