Credits his grandfather, Dick Hendley, for giving him his start in golf. Grandfather gave him a cut-down club when he was 3 and first took him to the Masters at age 6. Hendley, who passed away in 2014, was a standout in football and baseball at Clemson, and played one season (1951) in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Inducted into the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame in 2007. He and grandfather Dick Hendley became the first grandfather-grandson combination in the Clemson Athletic Hall of Fame. Hendley was a standout baseball and football player at Clemson (1946-51), and later played one season (1951) with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Earned two significant honors in 2024, as he was inducted into the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame and received the Order of the Palmetto. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster presented the Order of the Palmetto -- the state's highest civilian honor -- to Glover following the second round of the 2024 RBC Heritage.
An avid reader, particularly mysteries and thrillers. Read four books during the week of his rainy 2009 U.S. Open victory.
Swing coach Dick Harmon passed away in February 2006, and Glover served as a pallbearer and was among those who delivered eulogies at the funeral.
Teammates at Clemson University included Jonathan Byrd (three seasons -- 1997-2000) and D.J. Trahan (two seasons -- 1999-2001).
