Tim Rosaforte hard at work during the Association of Golf Writers dinner, St Andrews 2015
The longtime reporter has passed after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease. He was 66. Far too young but his needless suffering is over.
I wrote about Rosie here upon his retirement and stand by all of it and then some. We got off to a rough start but became friends and he was a super mentor to younger golf writers. And then, as a Golf Channel contributor where he was always humbly asking how he did or what he could do to get better. That humility on top of his work ethic made him one of a kind in our business.
Craig Dolch, his good friend and long time colleague, filed this wonderful remembrance of Rosie.
A few photos from my collection that I love. Especially the top one from the 2015 Association of Golf Writers dinner where Rosie was working late! (A wider version is below.)
Jaime Diaz remembers his longtime Golf World and Golf Channel colleague in this piece. I’ll post more as they come.
Some images I found in my collection featuring Tim through the years:
