Former American politician Trey Gowdy has been one of the influential figures in American politics who rose to fame since 2011 when he became the Member of the U.S. House of Representatives for South Carolina.

Is Trey Gowdy Related to Curt Gowdy?
To break this out to you directly, Trey is not related to Curt Gowdy. Apart from their family names, they do not share any family bond.
Curt Gowdy was one of the sought-after broadcasting personalities of his time who dedicated decades of his life to sports broadcasting. He has been most recognized for games broadcasting for Boston Red Sox on radio and TV for around fifteen years.

Uploading a picture of Trey, he wrote, “Is Trey Gowdy the son of or otherwise related to legendary sports broadcaster Curt Gowdy?”
Well, the similarity of their facial feature and surname might confuse many with their undeniable resemblance, but Trey and Curt are not related in any way.
