Most people might not recognize the name Erik Compton, but this Norwegian-American golfer has played on the PGA tour for many years, even though he has suffered from viral cardiomyopathy since he was nine years old. This is a condition that weakens the heart over time. He had a heart transplant when he was 12 years old, but due to the condition, required another one when he was 28. It’s not clear whether he may require another one in the future, but for someone who has shown resolve on and off the course, the future continues to look bright.
