Mac Meissner’s PGA Tour card achievement in 2023 was a moment of pure joy and you’ll know why soon enough.

Meissner’s list started with his parents Katie and Kurt as his father had made so many sacrifices to support his golf dreams. “My parents (Katie and Kurt), first, have supported me through this journey; my dad has made so many sacrifices in his own life to watch and support my golf dream,” said the golfer. And how could he forget about his long-time swing coach, Bryan Gathright? Gathright has played a major role in shaping him into the golfer he is today.
