Josh Allen and Tiger tee it up, a caddie saves the day
Hello, friends, and happy Wednesday from Riviera. We are excited to bring you the latest updates from the Genesis Invitational Pro-Am. In this article, we will dive into some interesting moments that happened on the course, including Josh Allen playing alongside Tiger Woods and a caddie who went above and beyond to ensure his player had his clubs. Let’s get started!
Josh Allen and Tiger Woods team up
One of the highlights of the pro-am was the pairing of Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen and the legendary Tiger Woods. It was a star-studded group that also included professional baseball player Aaron Hicks, who is married to Tiger’s niece, Cheyenne. The chemistry between these incredible athletes was evident as they took on the course.
Josh Allen, known for his talent and fame in football, was in awe of playing alongside Tiger Woods. He expressed his admiration for Tiger’s brand, Sun Day Red, and even shared that his brother would be caddying for him during the pro-am. Allen’s passion for golf was evident, and he took the opportunity to seek advice from Tiger and ask thought-provoking questions to improve his game.
It’s always fascinating to see athletes from different sports come together and witness how their brains work. Whether it’s on the football field, golf course, or baseball diamond, the way they approach the game and analyze their strategies is consistent. This unique perspective allowed Josh Allen to gain insights and learn from one of the greatest golfers of all time.
Tiger Woods, a Taylor Swift fan
Incredible news! We received confirmation that Tiger Woods attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour concert last year. As an avid Taylor Swift fan myself, I can only imagine how amazing it must have been for Tiger to experience her live performance. While I refrained from bombarding Tiger with questions about his favorite surprise songs from the concert during his press conference, it’s a delightful tidbit of information that adds to his versatile personality.
In-N-Out treat for players and caddies
When it comes to keeping players happy, it’s the little things that make a massive impact. In this case, it was the availability of delicious food from In-N-Out. Justin Thomas and his caddie, Jim “Bones” Mackay, discovered an In-N-Out truck at Riviera, serving the players and caddies with mouthwatering treats. It was evident that they thoroughly enjoyed their burgers, while Max Homa couldn’t hide his excitement when he got his hands on his own tasty burger. The camaraderie and shared appreciation for good food among these incredible golfers is always heartening to witness.
A caddie’s extraordinary dedication
Ben Griffin’s caddie, Alex Ritthamel, went above and beyond to ensure that Griffin had his clubs for the tournament. Unfortunately, Griffin’s clubs didn’t make it on his flight to Los Angeles. However, Ritthamel took it upon himself to make a six-hour drive from Los Angeles to Phoenix to pick up the clubs personally. This act of dedication and commitment to the player’s success is truly commendable.
If Griffin performs exceptionally well this week, we know who played a significant part in making it happen.
Final thoughts
As we wrap up this article, we’re reminded once again of the incredible humans that make up the world of golf. From the kindness shown by fellow players, such as lending sunscreen or grabbing an extra burger for a media member, to caddies going the extra mile to ensure their players are equipped with the necessary tools, the golfing community continues to impress with their genuine support for one another.
Stay tuned for more updates from the Genesis Invitational Pro-Am. We can’t wait to see what the rest of the tournament holds!
