Meet the Pros: Todd Horne

It’s that special time again …. we’re back with FLX Tour’s Meet the Pros!

This one is bound to send shockwaves as we sat down with one of the most polarizing pros on Tour: Todd Horne. He is a controversial figure, and currently under investigation after allegations of artificially inflating his handicap (aka inflategate).

Horne made waves in 2022 with is FLX Tour debut at the FLX Cup, notching a top 3 finish, but since becoming a father his attendance has been unreliable, resulting with a lowly No. 30 ranking currently for Young Man of the Year.

Horne will look to notich his first FLX major championship at the upcoming FLX Cup, but this kid is unbelievable. He’s even the proud owner of a hole in one back in 2017. Let’s find out more!
