Chris Kirk has four victories on the PGA tour. He has won millions during his career, but those millions could not prevent him from experiencing battles with alcohol and depression.
It takes strength to ask for help, and that’s what the 35-year-old did last May when he took an indefinite leave from professional golf to address issues with alcohol abuse and depression. Once ranked as high as 16th in the world, he felt his world spiraling both on and off the course and knew he needed to act.
“I’m a completely different person than I was two years ago,” Kirk said.
