And I have to ask, are we all adults here? Do we REALLY need trigger warnings for this story? I think we all knew before the parents spoke out what his cause of death was. He had struggled for a long time with drugs and alcohol. The world of pro sports, any sport, is high pressure, but especially an individual sport like golf where the spotlight is on YOU. Team sports are high pressure enough, but individual sport can be hell.
