Jarred Garcia was at a crossroads.
After nearly seven years of playing professional golf, the 31-year-old was unsure how much longer he wanted to keep his dream of playing on the PGA Tour alive. He teed it up in the Advocates Professional Golf Association Tour’s first two members-only events last month in San Diego – and played well, placing third in one of them – but when he got back home to Jacksonville, Florida, Garcia sat down with his dad to discuss his future.
“I told him I’m going to play these next two events and if I don’t play well, I have to figure something else out,” said Garcia, who earned his bachelor’s degree in biology from the University of North Florida in 2013.
