A Letter From Philip Barbaree
Dear Tiger Nation,
It has been an honor and a blessing to have called Baton Rouge my home for the past four years.
Being an LSU fan all my life, signing to play for the Tigers has been a goal of mine since I started playing golf. I remember committing to Coach Winstead, Coach Runion, and the Tigers almost seven-years-ago to the day. It is one of the most memorable moments in my life, and I will never forget it.
With this being said, I have planned to graduate in December, and turn professional at the start of 2021.
Making the decision to graduate high school early and coming to compete with the Tigers gave me opportunities to play with some of my best friends. That decision also restricted me to compete as a student athlete for only three-and-a-half-years. In March, when the NCAA's COVID-19 rule allowed seniors an extra year of eligibility, I could not pass that up.
