Did you know?
Tharp loves to play golf, although he claims to not be very good. Saltwater fishing is also one of his favorite hobbies: Inshore, offshore, nearshore chasing tarpon and triple tail (which is why he lives on the Gulf of Mexico). The last few years, he has started to enjoy cooking and grilling.
