Bart Bryant, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour who bested Tiger Woods by six strokes to win the 2005 Tour Championship, died Tuesday in a car accident at the age of 59, it was announced.<\/p>\n

Bryant was killed and his wife was injured when a truck slammed into their SUV while they were stopped in a line of vehicles on a central Florida roadway for a construction crew, Polk County (Florida) Sheriff’s Office officials said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Bryant was unresponsive when emergency responders in Polk City found him Tuesday afternoon. He was taken to a hospital where he died. His wife di lui, Donna, 49, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.<\/p>\n

According to the sheriff’s office, the Bryants’ SUV was stopped at the construction site near an intersection. A truck traveling in the same direction failed to see their stopped SUV and slammed into it, the sheriff’s office said. An investigation was ongoing.<\/p>\n

“The PGA TOUR is saddened by the tragic passing of Bart Bryant and our hearts go out to his family and friends during this difficult time,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. “The Bryants have been a part of the PGA TOUR family for over four decades and we are grateful for the impact and legacy he made on our organization and countless communities. Bart will be dearly missed.”<\/p>\n

After his first PGA Tour victory at the age of 41 at the 2004 Texas Open in his 187th career start, Bryant won twice in 2005 – at The Memorial and at the Tour Championship – to finish ninth on the money list that season.<\/p>\n

His brother, Brad Bryant, won the 1995 Walt Disney World Classic, making them one of 12 sets of brothers to win on the PGA Tour.<\/p>\n

Bart Bryant, who was born in Texas and turned professional in 1986, also twice won the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open on the PGA Tour Champions circuit, in 2013 and 2018.<\/p>\n

“He was a champion on and off the course and will be dearly missed by many,” the PGA Tour Champions posted on Twitter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
