Some of the biggest names in world golf – and even ‘The Rock’, Dwayne Johnson – have expressed their deep sadness following the news on Wednesday morning that Australian golfer Jarrod Lyle has been now placed in palliative care.

Jarrod has fought with the heart of a lion, always with dignity and a smile surrounded by his loving family. We Love You…please rest peacefully knowing how inspirational and beloved you remain in all our hearts. https://t.co/DCR8rZEoN6

So sad to hear. Wish I would’ve known Jarrod better, but the times I spent around him were nothing but so cheerful and amazing. ALL OF US this week on @PGATOUR in Akron will be thinking of @jarrodlylepga and his family https://t.co/2o1KH5m1wY

Life is precious and we all take it for granted too often – seeing the picture of @jarrodlylepga hugging his family with not long to live brought tears to my eyes. Peace be with you, you will be missed Jarrod x

2018 continues to be a sad one for the golf community.  Tough to put into words how brave @jarrodlylepga has been his entire life.  The man has epitomized positivity and courage throughout his ordeals and setbacks.  Everyone can learn a lot from the way Jarrod has lived his life.

As I sit here @KCGolfClassic I’m reminded that, at this very event several years ago, we welcomed Jarrod back to competitive golf. He’s one of us and I’m incredibly saddened by the news that he’s now in palliative care. Can’t imagine the courage it took to stop treatment.

Prayers for this brave man. If you think your life is hard or unfair or you are feeling sorry for yourself just because, think of Jarrod Lyle and the fight he has put forth to simply live. https://t.co/tejZezgSH3
