ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — A seemingly endless PGA Tour schedule is finally in the books for 2019 with the conclusion of the RSM Classic, the last official event of the decade (let the Silly Season begin!).
How do Tour pros plan to spend their “off-season” and the holidays? We asked 18 pros after the RSM Classic.
Weddings, surgeries, pulled wisdom teeth, hunting and fishing, and — shocker — more golf are on the agenda.
Scott Brown
“If you’re looking for me, I’ll be hunting. I went deer hunting 20 of the last 25 days before going to Mayakoba. It’s fun to try to kill something bigger than you.”
Stewart Cink
“I’m getting surgery on Wednesday. I’m having my sinuses dug out. For some reason, my sinus cavities are tissue farms. About every 10 years I’ve got to get them dug out if I want to breathe.”
Tyler Duncan
“I’m the best man in Adam Schenk’s wedding in Turks and Caicos (Islands). I have some notes in my phone, for sure, but nowhere near finished with my speech.”
Dylan Frittelli
“I’m going to sit on the couch and play Rocket League on my X-Box.”
Jim Furyk
“We’re going on a South African safari. Never been. I can’t wait.”
Robert Garrigus
“I’m going hunting and fishing and I’m coaching my son’s baseball team. We’ve got a tournament coming up.”
Chesson Hadley
“Playing Daddy Daycare while my wife takes a girls’ trip to New York City. The kids have been looking forward to having me around all year. My wife and I are also going on our own trip to Grove Inn Park in Asheville, N.C.”
James Hahn
“Having spent the last seven months at home nursing an injury, I’m not as excited for the break as I usually am. Instead of downtime, I want to get in game shape. I feel one or two steps behind. I can make up the time I lost being sidelined. It’s my time to play catch up.”
Charles Howell III
“I’m just looking forward to sleeping in my own bed. I’ve spent the last nine weeks in a row on the road. I’m not complaining because our job is what is most people’s retirement, but I’m just ready to be home.”
Kevin Kisner
“What off-season? I took my time off after the Tour Championship. I’m playing Hero, Shark Shootout and going to Maui on December 27.”
Russell Knox
“In previous years I’ve been exhausted and felt like I hated golf. This year, I’ll take a little break and then try to get better by fine-tuning my equipment and working hard.”
Anirban Lahiri
“I’m looking forward to family time. My daughter is 9 1/2 so every day is a trip with her, but my wife and I may go to Central America and South America.”
Andrew Landry
“We’re going to be hanging at home in Austin because my mother-in-law is ill. I’ll do some fishing in December. We’ve got a flounder hole and you can also catch some red fish and trout.”
Davis Love III
“I have three granddaughters I want to spend time with. Dru and I are going duck hunting and snowboarding, and I’m going to Dallas to work with CBS the first week in December.”
Sebastian Muñoz
“I’m going to Augusta National for a few days this week, home to Bogota, Colombia, and then to Buenos Aries and help commentate for the Presidents Cup. Back to Bogota for about 10 days and then off to Maui (for Sentry Tournament of Champions).”
Scott Stallings
“I’ve got a few golf outings to do, but the one I’m really looking forward to is at Congaree because I’ve never been quail hunting. We just built a house in Tennessee and plan on hosting our first Thanksgiving there.”
Brendan Steele
“I’ve got to get four wisdom teeth out.”
Peter Uihlein
“I’m getting married on Friday.”
