The family of PGA Tour player Matt McQuillan has revealed the 45-year-old died on August 5 surrounded by his loved ones at Kingston General Hospital in Ontario, Canada. “Whether on the course or in everyday life, he had a remarkable ability to bring people together, offering encouragement, laughter, and genuine friendship to everyone he met. His welcoming personality and unwavering kindness made him a beloved figure within Kingston’s golfing community and beyond,” his obituary read in the Kingston Whig-Standard newspaper. An Ontario native, PGA Tour staff lauded McQuillan for “helping introduce and develop the next generation of Canadian golfers”. He turned professional in 2003 after playing college golf at Oklahoma State. McQuillan earned a PGA Tour card in 2010 and competed in 21 tournaments in 2011 and made the cut in seven of them. “Friends who shared rounds with him remember his enthusiasm, positive attitude, and appreciation for every moment spent on the course. He celebrated the successes of others as readily as his own and was always willing to encourage fellow golfers, regardless of their skill level,” his family wrote. His cause of death has not been revealed.
