PGA Tour pro Adam Hadwin makes amends with course crew after outburst leads to sprinkler mishap
PGA Tour pro Adam Hadwin has made amends with the course crew at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club after he let his frustrations at the Valspar Championship get the best of him last week. During the second round of the tournament, the 37-year-old Canadian broke a sprinkle on the course after he smashed his club into the ground on the 10th hole, which he would ultimately two-putt for a double bogey. The scene, perhaps not at the time for Hadwin, was comical as water sprayed everywhere with Hadwin attempting to push the sprinkler head back into the ground. He was unsuccessful. The sprinkler was eventually turned off and Hadwin finished the day five-over par, missing the cut by three shots. But on Friday, the Valspar Championship revealed that the pro golfer had paid for the damages and apologized for his outburst with some lunch on him. "In addition to paying for all repairs to @Innisbrook sprinklers, our 2017 champ, @ahadwingolf sent a video message & bought lunch for the entire course maintenance department," the post on X read. Director of Agronomy at Innisbrook Ryan Stewart first shared the photo of the Chipotle lunch and thanked Hadwin for the gesture. "A big thank you to Adam Hadwin @jessicahadwin for paying for that sprinkler head and buying our staff lunch. That was a great touch and our staff loved it. Thank you again," his post on X read. Hadwin's wife, Jessica, responded to the post on social media, joking that "next we mill make amends with that sprinkler." The chances of Hadwin's club finding the sprinkler head were rare, but not a first. In 1999 at the Bay Hill Invitational, 21-time PGA Tour winner Davis Love III had his own battle with the sprinkler system. After watching his shot roll through the green, he smacked the sprinkler with his sand wedge, shattering the valve. Water promptly flooded the bunker, where he took his shot from.

Adam Hadwin pays for sprinkler damage, buys course crew lunch after viral incident at Valspar Championship
Adam Hadwin has made up for his sprinkler incident at Innisbrook Resort and Golf Club. Hadwin, a week after he hilariously destroyed a sprinkler head out of frustration during the Valspar Championship, offered to pay to repair all of the sprinklers at the course. He also sent a video message and bought lunch for the course's maintenance department. How it started ➡️ how it's going In addition to paying for all repairs to @Innisbrook sprinklers, our 2017 champ, @ahadwingolf sent a video message & bought lunch for the entire course maintenance department 🥹⛳️Thank you, Adam & @jessicahadwin! — Valspar Championship (@ValsparChamp) March 28, 2025 Hadwin, during the second round of the Valspar Championship last week, took his frustrations out on a sprinkler head near the 10th green after he made a double bogey. After smashing his club into the sprinkler, however, water turned on and started spraying everywhere. Hadwin quickly froze and looked completely defeated. Adam Hadwin sprinkler smash 😤🏌️♂️ @jessicahadwin — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) March 22, 2025 That was one of three incidents on the course last week. Patton Kizzire tried to punt his putter after he missed a putt on Thursday before he withdrew from the event due to an injury. Sahith Theegala launched his club down the fairway after flaring a shot out to the right, too, though he still managed to save par after the toss. Viktor Hovland overtook Justin Thomas on Sunday to win the Valspar Championship for his seventh career PGA Tour win. Hadwin, after his second-round 76, missed the cut. Hadwin has won just a single time on Tour, back at the Valspar Championship in 2017. He has one top-10 finish so far this season — a T9 run at the WM Phoenix Open — but he's missed three out of the last four cuts entering this week's Texas Children's Houston Open. He entered this week at No. 79 in the Official World Golf Rankings. While his incident was the funniest of the three that took place in Florida last week, Hadwin has made his amends with the course where he picked up his inaugural win.

After damaging sprinkler, past Valspar champ and wife buy lunch for Innisbrook staff
Tempers got the best of numerous PGA Tour players last week at the Valspar Championship. Patton Kizzire punted his putter. Sahith Theegala threw his club. Then there was Adam Hadwin, the 2017 Valspar champion. During the second round Friday, Hadwin was on the par-4 10th hole when he took his anger out on the ground. He swung his club and happened to hit a sprinkler head, and off it went. Adam Hadwin sprinkler smash 😤🏌️♂️ @jessicahadwin — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) March 22, 2025 In true Canadian fashion, he quickly started to apologize and tried to fix the problem, but the damage was done. But Hadwin and his wife, Jessica, went even further. They paid to replace the sprinkler head and bought the staff at Innisbrook lunch on Friday. Ryan Stewart, Innisbrook's Director of Agronomy, shared photos Friday of the catered Chipotle lunch. "That was a great touch and our staff loved it," he said on social media.
