Bart Bryant, a three-time PGA Tour winner, died Tuesday in a car accident, the Tour announced. He was 59.
The Polk County Sheriff’s Office told WFLA Ch. 8 in Tampa that a pickup truck slammed into the back of Bryant’s SUV while he was stopped for a construction crew in Polk City, Fla. Bryant’s wife, who was also in the vehicle, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, officials said.
“The PGA Tour is saddened by the tragic passing of Bart Bryant and our hearts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement.
