“Unfortunately the golf world lost part of our family today, beloved golf writer Steve DiMeglio. I was always very close to Steve and we texted and talked about how he needed to keep fighting to get better so we could see each other in the Bahamas last month. And we did. I am so grateful for that. This a very sad day for all of golf. We have truly lost a friend.”

“He had a passion for golf that was reflected in his writing and all of the relationships he built through the years. I loved seeing the video of Steve being greeted by Tiger in the Bahamas last month. I’m sure that meant a lot to Steve. We will all miss Steve’s thoughtfulness, his updates on his sports bets and his wonderful storytelling.”

Golfers pay tribute to late golf writer Steve DiMeglio

“Sad day for the golfing world. Steve DiMeglio was one of the most well liked and respected people in the media. We had a great relationship and I always loved our banter back and forth. Even with what he was going through, he kept his spirit about him and would still give me a hard time about my clothing choices. I’m going to miss him greatly, as is the golfing world!”
