Tommy Moore was the most accomplished
junior golfer to ever emerge from the New Orleans
area. In 1980, Tommy was ranked #1 in the
Golf Digest Junior World Rankings and went on to
have a decorated collegiate career at Oklahoma State
University where he was an All-American, National
Champion, and Academic All-American.
After playing on the PGA TOUR for three seasons,
Tommy Moore’s life was cut short at the young age
of 35 due to a rare blood disease. In his memory, the
Kelly Gibson Foundation is proud to partner with
the Allstate Sugar Bowl to host a national event that
recognizes the impact Tommy made on junior golf
and the New Orleans community.
