He spent most of his early years playing basketball and soccer, bonding deeply with friends and his dad—especially over basketball, a game his father had always loved. As Tye moved into high school, a chance summer outing with his soccer teammate, Joey, and Joey’s grandpa introduced him to golf. Though he had hit some balls casually before, it was this experience that sparked a passion for the sport. Tye was captivated by golf’s challenge—he loved seeing tangible improvement with every game. That summer, he and Joey spent nearly every day on the course, which soon led Tye to focus exclusively on golf, eventually leaving basketball and soccer behind. He began playing competitively at Mead High School, enjoying both the sport and the camaraderie with friends. This journey marked his transformation from a multi-sport athlete to a dedicated golfer, embracing new challenges and friendships along the way.
