On a recent episode of The Ellen Degeneres Show, host Ellen Degeneres welcomed a special guest, five-year-old Kyle Lograsso, who is already being called the next Tiger Woods. What makes Kyle’s story even more incredible is that he lost one of his eyes to cancer. Hailing from Telford, Pennsylvania, Kyle charmed the audience with his adorable dance moves before sitting down for a chat with Ellen.
During their conversation, Ellen praised Kyle for his incredible talent and thanked him for giving her a bracelet from his foundation. She then asked him about his dancing skills and how he learned to dance so well. Kyle proudly shared that he came up with his dance moves on his own, showcasing his natural talent.
Moving on to his golf skills, Ellen asked Kyle how long he has been playing golf. To everyone’s surprise, Kyle revealed that he has only been playing for two months. Ellen couldn’t believe it and humorously questioned his response, but Kyle confidently confirmed his short duration in the sport.
Ellen then asked Kyle what he enjoys most about golf, to which he replied, “Putting, chipping, and driving.” The audience erupted in laughter, and Ellen jokingly remarked that Kyle loves the entire game. She even quizzed him about his newfound popularity with the girls on the golf course, and Kyle hilariously admitted that he is indeed meeting a lot of girls and even has a girlfriend named Lexus, who is 13 years old.
As Ellen delved deeper into Kyle’s story, she invited his parents to join them on stage. Kyle’s father revealed how his son’s golf journey began when he was 2 and 1/2 years old. Fascinated by the golf channel on TV, Kyle started using the remote control as a golf club and became obsessed with golf. On his second birthday, their friends gifted him his first set of golf clubs, and he has been hooked on the sport ever since.
However, Kyle’s extraordinary golf journey took a challenging turn when he was diagnosed with bilateral retinoblastoma, a form of eye cancer, just before his two-year-old checkup. The tumor in his left eye was so large that it had to be surgically removed, and he underwent six months of chemotherapy for the tumors in his right eye. Despite the adversity, Kyle’s love for golf remained unwavering, as he was swinging a golf club again just four hours after his surgery.
Ellen couldn’t hide her admiration for Kyle’s resilience and determination. She praised his talent and compared him to Tiger Woods, suggesting that he has a promising future in the sport. The segment concluded with Ellen and Kyle showing off their golf skills by hitting balls into holes on the set.
It’s incredible to see someone as young as Kyle already making waves in the golf world. His talent and passion for the sport, coupled with his inspiring story of overcoming adversity, make him a true inspiration to us all. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this remarkable young golfer.
