Hey, pals! I hope you all had an awesome weekend following the golf and celebrating the moms in your lives. I had a blast watching Twitter King Max Homa earn his fourth PGA Tour title on Sunday on the Wells Fargo Championship.

I additionally celebrated my sister’s twenty third birthday over the weekend. She’s not a golf fan, however I ship her this column each week to learn. So completely satisfied belated, Ellen, regardless that you’ll by no means see this notice. Let’s proceed.

Charlie Woods’ caddie will get a brand new gig

Joe LaCava has been on Tiger’s bag for over a decade, and their sons have partnered up on the previous two PNC Championships. Charlie Woods and Joe LaCava Jr. have a reasonably good observe document to date, however even with a second-place end, looping in a single event a yr isn’t sufficient to pay the payments. Sorry, Charlie.

Joe LaCava Jr. teamed up with Fred {Couples} on the Mitsubishi Electrical Traditional final week, and {Couples} assured us that LaCava’s actual boss was OK with it. He made positive to get permission from the 13-year-old by way of Tiger and Justin Thomas.

You realize what they are saying: In case you can caddie for the son of a 15-time main champion, you may caddie for anybody!

{Couples} and LaCava Jr. completed second on Sunday, the identical place that Workforce Woods and LaCava completed on the 2021 PNC. Looks like LaCava Jr. is aware of his stuff!

And whereas we’re on the subject of the Woods household, congratulations to Cheyenne Woods and her husband, Yankees middle fielder Aaron Hicks, on the delivery of their son, Cameron Jaxson Hicks!

The professionals head to System One

I’m quite a lot of issues. A social media supervisor. An older sister. Even a pal to some. But when there’s one factor that I’m not, it’s a automobile woman. I do know nothing about System One, and my data of vehicles extends to what I noticed on Pace Racer after I was a child.

Anyway, after I noticed simply what number of PGA Tour gamers had been yukking it up with F1 drivers final week, I knew it was time to alter my methods. First, we had Dustin Johnson teeing it up with Carlos Sainz Jr., Lando Norris and even Norwegian DJ, Kygo!

Joaquin Niemann additionally took his abilities right down to Miami for a day.

Subsequent up was Ian Poulter. I would like somebody to calculate the power of the sector down at these races over the weekend, as a result of there was a LOT of PGA Tour expertise in attendance.

Bubba additionally went for a spin down in Miami.

We additionally had Lewis Hamilton and Tom Brady teeing it up collectively. F1 was the place to be final week.

Justin Thomas was additionally there, and he appeared to get pictures with nearly everybody, together with his fiancee, Jillian Wisniewski, ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, soccer participant Mackensie Alexander and Myles Shear, the person who co-founded Palm Tree Crew with Kygo.

This jogs my memory of these Disney Channel crossover episodes the place you’d see characters from all completely different exhibits without delay. It’s lots to course of.

Mom’s Day posts

Nothing says “you’re the most effective, mother!” like a heartfelt submit on social media, and the professionals took notice of that.

First up, we have now Bryson DeChambeau with a basic throwback picture. Cute!

Subsequent up, we have now a collection of professionals wishing their important others a contented Mom’s Day.

The next picture wasn’t posted particularly for Mom’s Day, but it surely was shared over Mom’s Day weekend so we’ll let it slide.

Miscellaneous social posts to ponder

I’m undecided what’s going on on this picture of Viktor Hovland, however I’m guessing he was cleansing out his closet and got here throughout some gadgets he hasn’t gotten an opportunity to put on on the course but. I like a very good impromptu trend present, and this look from Hovland is excellent.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall when this picture was taken.

Subsequent up, we have now this picture of Scottie Scheffler and Jalen Brunson, shared by Jay Wright. That is one other crossover of all issues good in sports activities. I can’t assist however marvel what number of followers acknowledged Scheffler on the Dallas Mavericks sport. A part of me needs to suppose lots did, as a result of he’s a Dallas native. The opposite a part of me thinks that as a result of he’s probably probably the most low-key World No. 1 we’ve ever had that perhaps he flew underneath the radar. In case you had been in attendance, please let me understand how this went.

Subsequent up is Stanford golf rockstar Rachel Heck, who rocked a Memphis Grizzlies jersey on the course after which bumped into Steph Curry. Legendary.

I’m more and more inquisitive about Bubba Watson, as a result of he appears to be in every single place. He’s at Tour occasions. He’s on the Solheim Cup. He’s at F1. He’s at his sweet retailer in Florida, and simply after I suppose I’ve him discovered, he’s at … a Nas live performance? With DJ Khaled and LeBron James?

And eventually, we have now CrunchGate. James Hahn was not proud of whoever was having fun with a bag of chips throughout his putt on Saturday.

To be truthful, I get why Hahn could be aggravated. There’s nothing worse than somebody chewing on a pleasant bag of Lays or Doritos whilst you’re attempting to concentrate on a job. However was it the rationale he left this putt quick? I assume we’ll by no means know.
