Lil’ Jordan Eugenio’s star began to rise when he was only 4 years old. On the hit television show "The Best Damn Sports Show Period", he hit a golf ball in the middle of a bulls-eye centered on Tom Arnold’s chest. The crowd went wild and word spread. From there he has spent the past 4 years playing in celebrity pro-ams across the United States. Lil’ Jordan was introduced to GOLO and the creator Patrick Shea at this year’s PGA Tour event, The AT&T Pro-AM at Pebble Beach. Lil’ Jordan immediately fell in love with GOLO and actually won the event. As it turned out, they had more than the love of the game of golf and GOLO in common. The Eugenio’s son, Josua has Down Syndrome, and Shea has taught golf for the Special Olympics for the past 13 years in Northern California.
In the follow months, GOLO has teamed up with this golf phenom and now rap artist. Their goal: To have Lil’ Jordan use GOLO as a tool to educate and introduce the "next generation" to the world of golf as well as education them about kids with disabilities. Lil Jordan gives autographed custom GOLO games to his fans at every show. Inside each game instructions that direct his fans to www.playgolfamerica.com, (link to Play Golf America) a website that educates new golfers on how they can take that next step and hit a real golf ball.
Lil’ Jordan recently accompanied GOLO to the JIMMY V Celebrity Classic where he played and rapped for thrilled celebrities and contestants. This month Lil’ Jordan created a new rap song entitled "GOLO", a song dedicated to his favorite game. (listen online at the GOLO website: www.iGOLO.com)
Now 9 years old, Lil’ Jordan is among the top 8 in unsigned rap artists on Myspace and has over 1.5 million song plays. His debut album titled, "Are You Ready For Me?" was released in October of 2006.
