Liam, 15, overcame leukemia & now lives for golf—playing 6x/week & giving back through the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund.
Thank you for generously supporting Liam in this year’s competition. Your support helps empower the V Foundation for Cancer Research and the Why Not You Foundation in their respective missions to save lives and empower today's youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
Golf gives Liam space to be himself—focused, calm, and determined. He loves the challenge of chasing personal progress and the peace that comes with every swing. It’s not just a sport to him—it’s how he connects, heals, and stays so grounded.
Liam is inspired by pro golfers who play with quiet confidence—especially those who’ve faced setbacks and kept going. But his biggest inspiration is the kids still fighting cancer. The fight reminds him daily why resilience matters, and who he’s swinging for beyond the scorecard.
Liam was the only kid invited to play in a celebrity golf tournament for the Jay Fund—paired with NFL punter Logan Cooke. On the legendary Stadium Course at TPC, he birdied 16, conquered the iconic island green on 17 with a birdie and closed with a birdie on 18—right in front of pro athletes and coaches. A moment that blended nerves, heart, and straight-up magic.
