Tiger caddies for Charlie, Max Homa and JT go on a safari, Rory heads to Boston
Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship, Max Homa, Boston Common Golf
Hello associates, and welcome again to the Rogers Report! Between going to the Patriots sport with my dad on Sunday (which was a loss for the group, however a win for me when it comes to being the favourite baby) and a TGL occasion at Fenway with David Ortiz and Pedro Martinez on Monday, I’m feeling very in tune with the Boston sports activities world proper now.
Boston Common Golf occasion
As a Boston gal, I used to be very bummed when the Playoff occasion at TPC Boston was taken off the schedule. I grew up going to the match with my junior golf associates and our head professional, and continued to go yearly all through school. I regarded ahead to the U.S. Open at The Country Club for years, and was bummed when it was over as a result of I assumed it meant that skilled golf wouldn’t be again in the space for fairly a while.
I’m undoubtedly nonetheless studying the ins and the outs of the TGL, however I used to be very excited to see the Boston Common Golf group at some native spots Monday. I attended their press convention in the morning, the place the gamers talked about the league and their schedule, and Keegan Bradley shared simply how excited he’s to characterize his favourite metropolis.
As somebody who grew up going to Fenway Park, it was cool to see the gamers absorb considered one of my favourite spots — one from the place I’ve a lot of reminiscences.
I bought to meet up with McIlroy for a couple of minutes, and from one Irish particular person to a different, I welcomed him to Boston with open arms. His initiation to Beantown will probably be full when he will get screamed at by a neighborhood for taking too lengthy to order Dunkin Donuts.
Also, I hit just a few golf balls through VR for the first time final night time and I’m all in on it.
Tiger Woods the caddie
Our favourite 15-time main champion was on the bag for his son, Charlie, at the Notah Begay III Junior Golf National Championship in Louisiana over the weekend. And he regarded nice.
Listen, I could not know a lot about the technicalities of the golf swing. But I do know a factor or two about strolling. As somebody who has been placing one foot in entrance of the different for nearly 29 years, I can confidently say that Tiger is doing it effectively right here.
If I didn’t know any higher, I might suppose that is the stride of a person who hasn’t needed to go below the knife a number of occasions for his leg and ankle. And most vital, he seems to be much more comfy than he did at the Masters. It was onerous to not wince watching him tackle the fairways at Augusta, so this looks like a number of progress. I’m joyful for him! And joyful for Charlie, too, after all. As for the youngsters of their group at the match, I can not think about what it’s like teeing it up in entrance of an 82-time PGA Tour winner.
Charlie, I hope your dad’s yardages had been right and that he grabbed all the pins for you over the weekend.
And people, simply as I’m penning this now we have an replace from the looper himself…
The Homas and Thomas’ safari
Justin Thomas, Max Homa and their wives are making the most of their day off. The squad took a trip to Madikwe Reserve in South Africa to take a look at the wildlife, and it regarded like the trip of a lifetime.
Justin Thomas even tried his hand at some on-site reporting. Watch out, Smylie Kaufman. He may very well be coming to your job.
I do know he was the animals, however Thomas has the previous man golf spectator look down. Just have a look at that focus and stance!
A Ryder Cup get together at the Donalds
The Ryder Cup could also be over, however the celebrations are undoubtedly not. The Donald household hosted a victory get together at their Florida house over the weekend, and there was fairly the turnout. My invite should have gotten misplaced in the mail, however I nonetheless hope everybody who attended had an superior time.
First off, let’s check out that cake. Props to the baker who put that collectively. I wrestle with the directions on the Betty Crocker cake combine bins, so I’ve huge respect for the expertise that takes.
Diane Donald
Friendly PSA: If you aren’t following Diane Donald on Instagram, that should change proper now. She is considered one of my favourite folks on the app. You understand how the mothers in your life are continuously importing photos to Facebook? That’s how Diane Donald is together with her Instagram tales. As the captain’s spouse, she offered a ton of cool behind-the-scenes content material from the Ryder Cup.
My favourite photograph she shared from the get together is the following considered one of Viktor Hovland with two of her daughters and their associates.
Diane Donald
I really feel like I understand how this went. The gals needed an image with Viktor, however had been perhaps too scared to ask. So Diane facilitated it, and the women had been form of mortified whereas it was occurring. But the second it was over, they had been determined to get their palms on that photograph. Gals, take it from me. I’ve been there. And it will proceed to occur for a very long time. And in 15 or so years, you’ll nonetheless be speaking about this photograph.
Okay, people. What I’m about to point out you subsequent is considered one of the most surprising issues to seem in the Rogers Report. Nothing may have ready me for it.
U.S. Ryder Cup group snub Keegan Bradley was in attendance at the European group’s victory get together. I needed to play Diane Donald’s Instagram reel a second time to verify I may imagine my eyes. I’m determined to find out how this went down. Is Bradley switching loyalties? Does he reside in the neighborhood? What did Luke’s textual content inviting him to this get together appear like? All I do know for certain is that he nonetheless hasn’t unpacked that darn suitcase from 2012.

The Finaus head to Cabo
The Finaus, their household and associates headed to Cabo final week for what I can solely suspect was a vow renewal celebration. I’ve checked out the Instagram posts, screenshotted the tales and carried out another normal sleuthing. They by no means actually named precisely what they had been celebrating, however there was a ceremony and a reception so I’ve to imagine they had been celebrating their marriage. And it regarded like an absolute blast.
Layna Finau
Besides the most important occasion, the Finau household had spa days, pool events, dance events on a ship and placing competitions.
Layna Finau
It’s onerous to not have enjoyable while you’ve bought an enormous household. But this has impressed me to tell my household that we have to convey our celebrations to the subsequent stage. Hanging out in the lounge with soccer on in the background merely isn’t going to chop it anymore.
