Bubba Watson, who insisted his enthusiasm for the Solheim Cup was real, was thanked by the Americans for all the support he showed them
Watson, 42, was dubbed Team USA’s “media agitator” during the week in Ohio fulfilling every role imaginable for Americans.
Whether it’s fixing the divots or letting the players use his mini van Bubba has never missed an opportunity to serve the team. We also saw him equipped with a talkie, in order to discuss with the staff and to be as close as possible to the action.
All week long, he also posted videos and photos on his social networks, not bad for a star who has close to three million followers!
The girls started to realize, that my enthusiasm was not feigned and that I was not there to do a communication operation.
On the first tee Saturday for the start of the competition, he notably joked with the presenter of Golf Channel, Amanda Balionis, explaining that these players touch more fairways than him and did not hesitate to affirm that “Women have as much talent, if not more than us”.
« The ladies have just as much talent, if not more than we do.”

A call to the captain
It all started when Watson was officially eliminated from the FedEx Cup race. It was he who would have approached Captain Pat Hurst and even put his wedding anniversary on hold to be present alongside his female compatriots.
«If I tell everyone that we have to help women in sport and in golf, the minimum for me was to be here Watson explained. The one whose wife Angie is a former professional basketball player, opened up about his desire to promote all women’s sports and also wanted to talk about the importance of mental health.
« This is where the girls started to realize, that my enthusiasm was not feigned and that I was not there to do a com operation ”!
