Apparently, winning on the PGA Tour doesn’t guarantee they’ll spell your name right

We doubt Tiger Woods ever had this problem: last year’s Travelers Championship winner, Kevin Streelman arrived to hit balls on the range at TPC River Highlands to find he’d acquired an extra “e” in his last name.

Kevin Streeleman, ladies and gentleman.

Kudos to Streelman for not going ballistic, kicking the sign to pieces, demanding respect and withdrawing from the tournament.

Webb Simpson retweeted Streelman on the matter, and added an item from the FedEx St. Jude two week’s ago featuring “Defending champion Harris English” AKA Ben Crane.

Nothing lets you know you’ve made it as a tournament-winning golfer on the PGA Tour like having your name misspelled or being misidentified. The latter is probably worse. I mean, who was captioning the photo and thought, “Well, I don’t know what Harris English looks like. Don’t know what Ben Crane looks like either. But hey, this guy looks like a Harris, I think I’ll go with him.”

Sidebar: Why would you want to win the Masters Green Jacket when you can win the FedEx St. Jude lab/CVS pharmacist coat with sweet patch?

Tough moments, indeed.

Actually, that’s not a white pharmacist coat at all. It’s a seersucker jacket. Each Sunday during the final round of the FESJC the volunteers and tournament management wears seersucker. The winner of the FESJC is presented with a seersucker jacket at the trophy presentation and that’s what you see in the picture.

GolfWRX is on site this week in McKinney, Texas, at the 2024 CJ Cup Byron Nelson (FKA the AT&T Byron Nelson).

Last year at TPC Craig Ranch, Jason Day ended a five-year winless streak. J-Day is in the field again, as are Jordan Spieth, Tom Kim, and Will Zalatoris.

We have our usual assortment of general galleries, WITBs, and pullout albums for your perusal. As always, we’ll continue to add links to additional albums as they make their way to us from the Lone Star State.
