Hank Lebioda is enjoying his sophomore season on the PGA TOUR in 2020. His season so far has been highlighted by a 3rd place at the Bermuda Championship and 17th place at The American Express. An Orlando native, 2020 will be Hank’s first time competing in his hometown PGA TOUR event which he attended regularly with his parents as a junior golfer. In 2019, the Lebioda family hosted a fundraiser at Bay Hill for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation. The event played a large role in Hank and his family raising nearly $225,000 in 2019 for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundations.
An act of kindness that started it all.
