Max Togisala is a rising professional golfer who most recently placed 17th overall in the 2023 U.S. Adaptive Open at Pinehurst. Originally on track to play collegiate golf, his life took a dramatic turn in February 2022, when a skiing accident in Sun Valley, Idaho severed his spinal cord and left him paralyzed from the waist down. Adaptive golfing equipment, such as the VertaCat, enabled Max to play golf again, competing nine months after the incident.
