Jarrod Lyle became the second player to receive the PGA Tour’s Courage Award the circuit announced on Tuesday.
Lyle overcame his second bout with myeloid leukemia in 2013 and returned to the Tour last season, making 10 starts before returning to Australia in June.
In 2013, Erik Compton won the inaugural Courage Award, which replaced the Comeback Player of the Year Award in 2012, and Lyle was honored during the Greg Norman Gold Medal Dinner on the eve of this week’s Australian PGA Championship.
Lyle was first diagnosed with myeloid leukemia in 1999 but endured months of chemotherapy treatments and earned his Tour card in 2007.
