The 52-year-old golfing pro is sitting in contention for the Dick's Open title all weekend, currently two strokes behind current leader, Steve Allan. But one guest appearance in a content meeting gave her the opportunity to become the social media star for the weekend — and she's soaked in every bit of it.
'I'm very social,' Caroline said. 'I kind of love being on camera, being the star and the main character vibe. And I love talking to people.'
Caroline worked alongside the Dick's Open social media team throughout the Pro-Am and first round, walking up to different pros and asking them all sorts of questions. With a mini microphone in hand, she quickly got creative with each interview and started showing off handshakes she has with some of the pros, too.
'It was really fun seeing all the different players,' Caroline said. 'A bunch of times, like, if I go to see someone, and they'll come up and they're like, 'Hi, how Hi. How are you?' I'm just like, 'Good, how about you?' And like, we'll shake hands, we'll do a fist bump.'

At one point, she even tried to climb a tree to interview her dad.
'I'm usually very goofy, but like, energetic,' Caroline said laughing. 'I saw the tree and I really felt like climbing, so I did … and I just started talking to him.'

Caroline doesn't have any social media of her own, but she's fascinated with being on camera. She's extroverted, and will talk to anyone who's willing to strike up a conversation. It even reached a point where Caroline's mom, Liz Janangelo Caron, was stopped along the course multiple times with people telling her how fun it is to be around Caroline.

'That's her personality, too. You know, she's very outgoing, she likes the limelight a little bit, as you can tell,' Caron said. 'I have to thank Dick's again, for letting her get in there and having some fun. It's been great.'

Caron said he tries to bring Caroline and his other daughter, Julia, to as many golf tournaments as possible, because it helps keep him relaxed on the course. Caroline also plays golf, though in a more casual setting. She's always the first one to take photos and videos of her dad, too.
'We've been treating it as like a family deal,' Caron said. 'There's nothing better than looking over and seeing your kids.'
Caroline has made friends with almost everyone on the golf course and people watching from the cart path. When she does eventually get permission to have her own social media accounts, she said she'll probably bring the same energy she had during her Dick's Open takeover.

And she'll still enjoy watching her dad, too.

'I really just love to see him play,' Caroline said. 'It's so much fun, especially when he does well.'

Adam Schiff Talks Of Donald Trump's 'Climate Of Fear' In ‘Late Show' Guest Appearance; California Senator Later Addresses CBS Cancellation
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert started out on Thursday with the host making the bombshell announcement that CBS was canceling the show, effective next May. That wasn't addressed in his interview with Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), even though the Trump nemesis did address the president's success in creating what he called a 'climate of fear.' More from Deadline How Public Media Lost The Federal Funding Battle, And What Happens Next To Stations, NPR And PBS PBS, NPR And Public Media Set To Lose Federal Funding As Package Of Spending Cuts Clears Congress 'Watch What Happens Live' Host Andy Cohen On Stephen Colbert's Late-Night Show Ending: "I Can't Believe CBS Is Turning Off The Lights At 11:30" 'He wants to make the law firms afraid,' Schiff told Colbert. 'He wants to make universities afraid. He wants to make immigrants afraid. he wants to make citizens afraid. He wants to make news organizations, CBS and Paramount afraid. He wants to make ABC afraid. And he is succeeding.' Later, Schiff did address CBS' decision to cancel Late Show, writing on X, 'Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended the Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.' CBS said that the show was being canceled for financial reasons. But very soon after the announcement, there were quickly suspicions that it could have been connected to parent Paramount Global's pending merger with Skydance. The transaction needs regulatory approval from the Trump administration, and Colbert's humor is frequently directed at the president. Already, a number of Democrats on Capitol Hill have criticized Paramount Global for reaching a settlement with Trump over his 60 Minutes lawsuit against CBS for $16 million. Colbert joined them earlier this week, riffing in a monologue earlier this week on what he called Paramout's 'big fat bribe' to the president. Following Colbert's announcement that his show was getting the ax, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) linked to the host's earlier monologue and wrote on X, 'CBS canceled Colbert's show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.' Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) posted a similar note. In the Colbert interview, Schiff also criticized the package of spending cuts — known as rescissions — as a sign that congressional Republicans were giving up their power to Trump. The final passage of the package, which rolls back funding for foreign aid and NPR, just as the interview was airing. 'They're worried about losing their own personal power, that is their own personal office<' Schiff said of the GOP lawmakers. 'Some of them have said they're worried about their own personal safety,' Colbert said. 'That too, that too,' Schiff said. 'You can't find a member of the House or Senate that hasn't gotten death threats,' Schiff said. You probably can't find many that haven't gotten death threats against their spouses, against their children.' Schiff said that those threats have greatly accelerated under Trump, but he suggested a way to respond. 'This is all part of a deliberate campaign to frighten people into submission,' Schiff said. 'And the only way to pish back on that is to say, 'Piss off. Piss off.''

In addition to posting the message on Instagram before his show, Colbert replayed the announcement at the start of his Thursday episode.
