Episode 195: Bud Cauley’s Battle Back
Episode Notes
Bud Cauley was a sure thing: three-time All-American at Alabama, Walker Cup star and one of the rare players to skip Q-School and go straight to the PGA Tour. But golf hardly follows a script. After injuries, multiple surgeries, and a near-fatal 2018 car accident that kept him away for more than three years, Cauley wasn’t sure if he had a future on the PGA Tour. Now 35, he joins host Tom Coyne from The Bear’s Club to reflect on the comeback season that vaulted him back into the spotlight. They discuss the role of family, friends like Justin Thomas keeping him going, and how fatherhood has reframed his approach to the game. It’s a genuine look at resilience from a player making the most of his second chance.
