LPGA Caddie Tournament
LPGA players cheered on their caddies as they played in the 5th Annual Caddie Tournament held on the Bray Links on Monday afternoon. This one of a kind event is sponsored by Busch Gardens and gives the caddies an opportunity to relax, enjoy an ice-cold Michelob ULTRA and have a lot of fun. The Caddie Tournament is a Captain’s Choice 3-man format played with two teams of three players on each hole. While enjoying a hearty dinner at the awards reception, caddies have the chance to win $10,000 in a Hole-In-One Contest. To date, there have been a couple close calls but no lucky winners. |
