Barstool Sports announced Monday that Cody “Beef” Franke, a beloved team member and avid golf enthusiast, has passed away at the age of 31. “We lost a member of our family this weekend,” the company shared in a post. “It’s just devastating. You couldn’t meet a kinder or more genuine person than Beef. It’s hard to even wrap our heads around right now. A painful reminder that tomorrow isn’t guaranteed — live every day to the fullest. #RIPBeef.” Barstool’s golf division also paid tribute to Franke in a separate message, noting that he died suddenly over the weekend due to a medical issue. Before joining Barstool, Franke had already made a name for himself in the golf world. A PGA of America Golf Professional and head pro at Thornberry Creek in Wisconsin, he dedicated nearly ten years to the sport before receiving an email from Barstool founder Dave Portnoy that would launch his next chapter. This is breaking news and will be updated with more details.
