The 2025 season for HyFlyers GC was marked by significant achievements, highlighted by a remarkable upset against Fireballs GC during the quarterfinals of the LIV Golf Michigan Team Championship. Under the stewardship of Captain Phil Mickelson, who recorded multiple Top-10 finishes and delivered some unforgettable moments on the course, the team has honed its skills in preparation for the upcoming season.
Mickelson praised the team’s newest member, Michael La Sasso, describing him as an electrifying young talent with a fierce competitive spirit. “Michael is one of the most exciting young players in the game today, bringing a competitive fire that’s evident every time he tees it up,” Mickelson remarked. He emphasized La Sasso’s impressive blend of power, speed, and game awareness, alongside qualities like work ethic, personality, and commitment, making him a valuable addition to HyFlyers GC. “We’re excited to support his development, accelerate his learning curve, and help him achieve his goals—while he, in turn, makes our team even stronger.”
Joining La Sasso is an established core that includes experienced LIV golfers Brendan Steele and Cameron Tringale. Their consistency and match-play skills have been crucial to the team’s success in 2025, with Tringale earning points in 10 of his 13 starts and showcasing a strong performance in match play. Steele’s leadership adds depth and seasoned insight to the team. With La Sasso’s ascent, the roster is poised for a relentless pursuit of improvement on and off the golf course.
Peter Davis, General Manager of HyFlyers GC, expressed enthusiasm over La Sasso’s joining, noting his accomplishments and the discipline he brings to the team. “Michael has proven that he knows how to win at the highest levels. He has established himself as one of golf’s promising young talents and we are thrilled he chose to join HyFlyers GC,” Davis said. He believes La Sasso’s transition into professional golf will be seamless, benefiting from Mickelson’s mentorship and the seasoned guidance of Steele and Tringale. Their commitment to fostering a supportive team environment is set to be a game changer.
