DiMeglio’s death, announced on Wednesday, sparked an outpouring of tributes from colleagues, athletes, and fans alike.

The Minnesota native was first diagnosed with Stage 4 rectal cancer in 2022, a diagnosis that led to a challenging battle with the disease.

Despite the grim prognosis, DiMeglio remained open about his journey, sharing updates on social media that balanced moments of humor with reflections on his treatment.

His bravery and transparency inspired many, including fellow journalists and golfers, as he continued to attend events even during his toughest moments.

Tiger Woods, who shared a long friendship with DiMeglio, was among the first to express his condolences.

“Unfortunately, the golf world lost part of our family today, beloved golf writer Steve DiMeglio,”Woods wrote in a tribute posted on X.

“I was always very close to Steve and we texted and talked about how he needed to keep fighting to get better so we could see each other in the Bahamas last month. And we did. I am so grateful for that.”

Woods added, “This is a very sad day for all of golf. We have truly lost a friend.”

DiMeglio’s appearance at the Hero World Challenge in December, despite his ongoing treatment, was a moment that highlighted his resilience.

In a touching video from the event, Woods and DiMeglio shared a warm embrace, with DiMeglio joking, “I came all the way down here to hold the door open for you, big man.”

In addition to his battle with cancer, DiMeglio’s career as a journalist left a lasting mark on the world of golf.

Known for his keen reporting and deep relationships within the sport, DiMeglio was also a beloved figure among his peers.

“Steve was incredibly plugged-in, had some of the best sources in the sport, and would do anything you asked as an editor,” said Roxanna Scott, executive editor of USA Today Sports.

His passing comes less than a month after the death of another beloved journalist, Jeff Babineau, further deepening the sorrow felt by the golf community.

As friends, family, and colleagues remember DiMeglio’s legacy, they also honor his remarkable ability to face adversity with humor, grace, and unyielding strength.
