From poverty to the PGA Tour

Bruce Edwards was born in 1955 in the small town of Farmville, North Carolina. His father was a sharecropper and his mother worked as a domestic servant. The family lived in poverty, and Bruce often had to go hungry.

Despite his difficult circumstances, Bruce was a talented athlete. He excelled in track and field, and he dreamed of becoming a professional golfer. However, he knew that his chances of success were slim. In the 1950s and 1960s, there were very few African American golfers on the PGA Tour.

Undeterred, Bruce decided to become a caddy. He started caddying at the local golf course when he was 12 years old. He quickly learned the game and became one of the best caddies in the area.

In 1975, Bruce got his big break. He was hired to caddy for Hale Irwin, one of the top golfers in the world. Bruce caddied for Irwin for 10 years, and he helped him win three major championships.

In 1985, Bruce decided to retire from caddying and pursue his dream of becoming a professional golfer. He joined the PGA Tour in 1987, and he played on the tour for 10 years. He never won a PGA Tour event, but he did have a few top-10 finishes.
