About Len Mattiace

It all started when…

Len was six when his father Louis encouraged him to take up golf. Len is left-handed, but he plays golf right- handed. Though he started early, it wasn’t until high school that Len began to elevate his game, eventually becoming the #1 ranked player in Junior Golf. His skill and fortitude earned Len a scholarship to Wake Forest where he was a two time All- American and key member of the 1986 NCAA National Championship team.

Over the past few years, he has split his time between playing PGA TOUR Champions events, Len Mattiace Golf Experience days at TPC Sawgrass, and helping kids across North Florida through the Len Mattiace Foundation.
