Lucas Hendley Glover (born November 12, 1979) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour.

Musselman and Hendley separated in 1981 (when Lucas was two) and divorced the following year.

Musselman had a career as a major league baseball player from 1982 to 1985, but after his baseball career ended, Musselman fell behind on child support payments and went more than six months without seeing his son.

This led to a loss of parental rights after the matter went to court in 1992; Musselman also was barred from seeing Lucas (then 13) until he turned 18.

Meanwhile, Hendley remarried to Jim Glover, and Lucas Glover today only recognizes his stepfather, Jim Glover, as his father.

Lucas' grandfather Dick Hendley introduced Glover to golf at age three, and by the time he was a teenager Lucas Glover was a three-time High School All-American at Wade Hampton High School.

He won the South Carolina State High School championship as a freshman and sophomore and finished as the runner up as a junior and senior.

Glover was All-State for all four years of high school.

Glover attended Clemson University from 1998 to 2001, where he was a brother of Alpha Tau Omega.

He won three college tournaments and also won the South Carolina Amateur in 1998, 1999 and 2000 and the Sunnehanna Amateur in 2001.

He was named first-team All-American in 2000 and 2001 and honorable mention All-American in 1999.

He was a member of the 2001 United States Walker Cup team and the 1999 USA vs. Japan Cup Team.

Glover turned professional in 2001 after graduating from Clemson.

He joined the Nationwide Tour in 2002, making 7 of 12 cuts while recording two top-10 finishes and five top-25 finishes in his rookie season.

He made 17 of 26 cuts while recording six top-10 finishes and 7 top-25 finishes.

Glover's high finish on the money list earned him his PGA Tour card for 2004.

In his rookie season on tour, Glover made 17 of 30 cuts while recording two top-10s and five top-25s.

He earned $557,454 and finished 134th on the money list, just shy of the top 125 which would have earned him his tour card for 2005.

He made 16 of 28 cuts while recording 7 top-10 finishes and 9 top-25 finishes.
