Adam Hadwin's Wife, Jessica, Has 48 Reasons Why PGA Tour Life is the Best
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When it comes to PGA Tour WAGs, Jessica Hadwin might be the people's champion. Wife of Canadian golfer Adam Hadwin, she's built a loyal following not just for her support on the sidelines, but for her razor-sharp wit and unfiltered commentary. Ms. Hadwin's go-to platform for this is her X (Twitter) account, where she's often called out the PGA Tour and even poked fun at Adam's bogey streaks. Last week, after a whirlwind trip to the John Deere Classic, she gave fans a hilarious, heartfelt, and wildly entertaining list of 48 reasons, well social media posts, why Tour life is the best.

(Photo by) More Getty Images Hadwin Family had quite the week The Hadwins' trip to TPC Deere Run in Silvis, Illinois, coincided with America's Independence Day weekend, and Jessica made sure to soak in every bit of it. "Not sure there is a more Midwest place to head off to to watch some golf and celebrate the birth of America than the John Deere Classic!" she told Skratch. "The JDC is a family-friendly event full of some of the nicest people on earth... it's a no-brainer to book a flight to a place that feels like home." But the trip didn't start smoothly. "Tragedy struck when our Monday flight was cancelled and we were in danger of missing the Big Dig," she shared. The Big Dig is a fan-favorite pre-tournament event where families can operate real John Deere machinery and enjoy a fireworks show. Well, in the end, it's Jessica Hadwin, so they had to make it there. "The Big Dig is essentially a Midwesterner's Disneyland," Jessica shared, "and we made it to the most magical place on earth just in time Tuesday evening to partake." By Thursday, the tournament was underway, and so was the heat. "It is hot as heck," she wrote. Adam teed off at 12:30 p.m., while Jessica wrangled their daughter Maddox and two teenage nieces. "Me and my 16-year-old nieces are unexpectedly matching in white tennis dresses, and I feel flattered until strangers start referring to me as their mom." As Adam battled through a frustrating front nine, Jessica admitted, "We spend the front nine ignoring the bogey train in order to get a full photo shoot around the course." Adam, who's had a rocky season this year, remained "eerily calm" despite the struggles. He carded a total of 73 in the first round. Jessica, ever the honest cheerleader, reflected over her husband's performance, saying, "Maybe he should bring back some of the anger fire." Still, she wasn't disappointed, just eager to see the version of Adam she knows he can be. The professional season has included just one top-10 finish, a T9 at the WM Phoenix Open and six missed cuts, including at the PGA Championship. One of the most touching moments came when Maddox watched her dad putt on the ninth green. "She seems so anxious to see the putt drop, it doesn't, and I feel sad that she feels any emotion tied to golf," Jessica wrote. "Despite my 'I just hope everyone has fun' mantra, it's clear Maddox is at an age she's starting to invest in Adam's job and play." While Adam practiced post-round, Jessica took the kids to a rooftop fireworks party hosted by the tournament. "I quickly realize I am the only person who brought 3 minors to the party, but we all have fun and the singer does a special little Bluey number for Maddox." On Friday, Adam's alarm rang at 4 a.m. for Round 2. He started strong, 3-under through 5, but faded late, missing the cut after carding a total of 2-over par. "With each bogey it's clear we will head home earlier than hoped for," Jessica expressed. "I'm already planning how we can get home and blow stuff up to help Adam blow off steam." And with that, she signed off typing, "Happy Birthday America!" More Golf: John Daly Toasts 'Bonus Daughter' as Love Life with Anna Cladakis Thrives

PGA Tour star tackled by security guard showed true colours with statement
The final round of last year's Travelers Championship was interrupted by Extinction Rebellion protestors, who stormed the 18th green at TPC River Highlands in Connecticut Canadian ace Adam Hadwin had the perfect reaction to protestors interrupting the action at last year's Travelers Championship. And anyone seeking guidance on how to handle such disruptions should look to him, especially if more trouble arises during Sunday's final round at TPC River Highlands. The 2024 Travelers Championship was disrupted when activists from Extinction Rebellion stormed the 18th green just as the tournament was reaching its climax. The protestors showered the green with what seemed to be a chalk-like substance, all while sporting t-shirts emblazoned with the message, 'No golf on a dead planet'. This incident occurred just as Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim were gearing up to conclude the competition in a nail-biting play-off. And it was Scheffler, 28, who kept his cool to clinch the title by the narrowest of margins. Hadwin, 37, finished joint-27th after shooting 11 under par in Cromwell, Connecticut. But he observed the unfolding drama from a distance and couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu. The one-time PGA Tour -winner took to social media and recalled his own viral moment from the previous year. And he was certain he did a better job of taking an unexpected knock from security. Hadwin, who triumphed at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in 2023, was on home soil in Toronto when he was tackled by a guard in the closing moments of the 2023 Canadian Open. That's after he had rushed the 18th to congratulate countryman Nick Taylor, who had just become the first Canadian in nearly 70 years to win the title. Intent on drenching his pal in champagne, he instead ended up on the floor as his friend watched on in horror. While going in for the celebration, Hadwin found himself unceremoniously floored, but his response was about as relaxed as one could hope for. "The moment itself and what Nick accomplished was amazing," he told reporters after the tournament. "I definitely did not want to be a part of what transpired after that, but it has been a lot of fun reading through and seeing what people had to say." The PGA Tour player admitted his recollection of being tackled was hazy because he "blacked out." Yet he held no grudge against the security guard for the mix-up. "At the time there was so much adrenaline running through, I don't think I would feel anything. I'm glad everything worked out. We can have a good laugh about it now. Just a big misunderstanding." Hadwin later took a light-hearted jab at a video circulating online of the protestors interrupting the Travelers Championship. He managed to keep hold of the champagne bottle in his hand during the tangle with security, contrasting it with the less coordinated efforts of the activists in question "I'd like to point out that when I was tackled, I held onto the bottle," he wrote on X. "Unlike this guy." In a display typical of someone who doesn't sweat the small stuff, Hadwin brushed off the debacle while also slyly ensuring not a drop of bubbly went to waste. And in the process, he proved he could keep a firm grip on what mattered amid unexpected pressure. If he can't find a reason to celebrate his own victory on Sunday, he'll be rooting for another Canadian to take the spotlight. However, it might take quite an effort to keep the on-fire Scheffler from clinching the title yet again.

Calgary golfer Hunter Thomson comes from Canadian Open pro baptism to compete in Glencoe Invitational
Calgary golfer Hunter Thomson is competing in this week's Glencoe Invitational after narrowly missing the cut in his first professional tournament, the Canadian Open. The Peleton Glencoe Invitational gets underway Thursday, where the next generation of Canadian golfers hope to follow in the footsteps of an illustrious roster of past winners. All the big names in Canadian golf have at one time teed it up in the Glencoe Invitational. Corey Conners, Taylor Pendrith, Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor all played in the tournament. Past winners include Graham Delaet, Mackenzie Hughes and Jared Du Toit. And that's who many of the current crop of young Canadian golfers aspire to become, including one Calgary golfer who caught the attention of the golf world in his very first tournament -- last week's Canadian Open. There are four divisions in the Glencoe Invitational -- men's and women's amateur and men's and women's professional. Calgarian Hunter Thomson is in the field in this week's Glencoe event, after narrowly missing the cut at the Canadian Open last weekend, his first professional tournament. Thomson was four under and one shot inside the cut line with three holes left in his second round last Friday when the moment may have gotten to him. He played the final three holes in four over par, missing the cut by three strokes.

'I really learned that I have the game to compete out there,' he said, 'and I feel like it's kind of where I belong. It's a really big confidence boost.' He said being around the best Canadian golfers felt fantastic. 'All the pros on the PGA Tour from Canada right now are really a huge inspiration for me,' he said. 'Guys like Corey Conners, Nick Taylor, Taylor Pendrith, all those guys are paving the way for us young Canadians, so it's really inspirational for sure.' After the Glencoe Invitational, Thomson said he's taking a few weeks off before he tees it up in New Brunswick for the first week of the Canadian Tour. The Glencoe Invitational starts Thursday and the final round is Saturday. With files from CTV's Glenn Campbell
