“While everyone in our family is saddened at
the loss of our home that was filled with so much laughter and
incredible memories, we’re very blessed that everyone is safe
and unharmed,” the World Golf Hall of Fame member said in a
statement.
Three fire engines responded to the blaze in St Simons Island,
Georgia, after being called by the Loves at 5:15 a.m. local time
but were unable to bring it under control, Love said.
"We’re very thankful to the first responders who made a valiant
effort to save our home, and we’re keeping things in perspective
as people across our community and around the world are
struggling with the current unprecedented health crisis,” Love
said.
An investigation is underway but an initial report said the fire
began in the garage.
Love, 55, has lived in the house for more than 20 years.
