Meet the Pros: Shane Driffill

We’re back with the FLX Tour favorite — Meet the Pros!

We got a fun one in store for you today with Co-Commissioner Shane Driffill! Instrumental in the foundation of the Tour and the day-to-day operations of it, the blonde-haired-twin-for-the-win is a polarizing figure on Tour.

Let’s get to know Shane!
