Chi Chi Rodriguez's passion for charity and outreach was surpassed only by his incredible talent with a golf club in his hand, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. A vibrant, colorful personality both on and off the golf course, he will be missed dearly by the PGA Tour and those whose lives he touched in his mission to give back.
He was born Juan Antonio Rodriguez in Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico, where he learned to play golf by hitting tin cans with a guava tree stick and then started working as a caddie. Determined to reach the PGA Tour, he defied odds and became a prominent figure in professional golf.
