Ryan Palmer wraps golf balls in beer money

Published

on

Ryan Palmer is playing the role of “beer Santa” on Thursday at the 2015 Waste Management Phoenix Open.

According to a tweet he sent Thursday morning, Palmer will hand out a dozen golf balls wrapped in $10 bills to the fans at hole No. 16, with the note “Have a beer on me!”

The autograph is a nice touch, but the partygoers, frat stars, fans will surely get more enjoyment from the free drink.

To avoid any legal ramifications, Palmer clarified who qualifies as a recipient of the beer money.

    Nice touch. More professional athletes should connect with the fans. As far as how the money is spent nobody is going to force anyone to drink if they don’t want to so let’s not try to make a nice gesture by a class guy out to be a bad thing.

    Tour Pros interacting with fans… That’s how you grow the game of golf.

      Lets give the drunks money to get even more hammered and not give it to kids who would think that was the greatest thing ever

        Yes, a kid would probably appreciate it more. However, my point is when the Pros engage with fans (of any age) it brings more interest to the game.

          Agreed! Some people always try to find the negative versus positive in everything.

        The kids probably couldn’t get to the railing to get a ball (since the players can’t throw things anymore) – – the drunken adults would elbow them out of the way to grab the beer money – – 16 is not a sane place

Photos from the 2024 PGA Championship

Published

GolfWRX is on site this week at Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, for the PGA Championship.

While we see fewer equipment changes and new gear seeding at major championships, we get a look at custom gear and looks into the bags of players we rarely see, which is just as exciting. In the case of the PGA Championship, this means a look at the gear some of the PGA Professionals who qualified for the tournament will be gaming, and LIV players, such as Jon Rahm and Patrick Reed.

Check out links to all our albums from Valhalla below and check back throughout the week as we continue to update.

GolfWRX is live this week at the Wells Fargo Championship as a field of the world’s best golfers descend upon Charlotte, North Carolina, hoping to tame the beast that is Quail Hollow Club in this Signature Event — only Scottie Scheffler, who is home awaiting the birth of his first child, is absent.

From the grounds at Quail Hollow, we have our usual assortment of general galleries and WITBs — including a look at left-hander Akshay Bhatia’s setup. Among the pullout albums, we have a look inside Cobra’s impressive new tour truck for you to check out. Also featured is a special look at Quail Hollow king, Rory McIlroy.

Be sure to check back throughout the week as we add more galleries.
