Jarrod Lyle

Jarrod Lyle

Jarrod Lyle (born 21 August 1981) is an Australian professional golfer who currently plays on the U.S.-based Nationwide Tour.

Personal life

Lyle was born in Shepparton, Victoria, Australia. He got his start in golf at age 6 when he caddied for his father. He says teeing off in his first Australian tournament is his biggest thrill in golf. In 1999 at age 17, he was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and was confined to his bed for nine months while undergoing chemotherapy treatments at the Royal Children's Hospital. It took another 12 months before he had the energy to walk a golf course again. He began a friendship during that time with PGA Tour member and fellow Australian Robert Allenby.

Career

Lyle turned professional in 2004. He played on the Nationwide Tour in 2006, finishing 18th on the money list and earning his PGA Tour card for 2007. He made only three top-25 finishes on the PGA Tour in 2007 and finished 164th on the money list and lost his Tour card. Back on the Nationwide Tour in 2008, he won twice, at the Mexican Open and the Knoxville Open.

Lyle has also played on the PGA Tour of Australasia, where he was ninth on the 2006 money list with almost $200,000 in prize money.
