Growing up in Birmingham, Tom cut his teeth at Vestavia Country Club before becoming a cornerstone of the University of Alabama teams that captured back-to-back NCAA National Championships . From relentless Monday morning workouts to qualifying battles against future PGA Tour stars, Tom shares what truly separated those Alabama teams. He also tells the full story of how he met — and eventually roomed with — Justin Thomas , the brotherhood that defined Alabama golf, and the lessons that carried him from college golf to the PGA Tour. This conversation is about far more than trophies — it’s about accountability, culture, friendship, and the long game of life beyond competitive golf.
