It looks like the sprinkler-head escapade hasn’t dampened the spirits of Adam Hadwin and his family, as the golfer’s wife Jessica seems to be taking things in stride by adding a dose of humor into the mix. Just a few days after Hadwin’s memorable incident, where he clashed with a sprinkler head during the Valspar Championship, Jessica decided to have a little fun at the expense of Tiger Woods and his latest romantic announcement.
To recap, if you missed the Valspar action last week, Adam Hadwin found himself in quite a splashy situation on the 10th hole of the Copperhead Course. Frustrated by a poor chip shot, he hammered a nearby sprinkler head. The result? A spectacular geyser of chilly water soaked the immediate surroundings, leaving fans both entertained and a little wet.
This misadventure led to a double bogey for Hadwin, as he wrapped up his round with a less-than-ideal score of 76, subsequently missing the weekend cut. So, while Adam had some free time on Sunday, Tiger Woods was busy making waves of his own.
The same night Tiger posted a buzzworthy update on social media that got everybody talking. He shared a couple of pictures that confirmed his relationship with Vanessa Trump, marking the first time he has publicly declared a romantic connection since his breakup with Erica Herman in 2023.
Tiger’s post was filled with sentiment: “Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.” While Vanessa wasn’t named directly, she is a figure familiar to many. As the former spouse of Donald Trump Jr., she shares five children with him, including young golfing influencer Kai Trump.
Interestingly, the request for privacy in such a public declaration caught the attention of Jessica Hadwin, prompting a lighthearted response from her side.
As it happens, Monday marked the eighth wedding anniversary of Adam and Jessica Hadwin. Known for her playful social media presence, Jessica couldn’t resist a cheeky nod to Tiger and Vanessa’s post. She and Adam shared a tender photo of themselves embracing on a beach. The caption? A direct lift from Tiger’s post, word for word, spiced up with hashtags like #happyanni and #8years.
Meanwhile, Adam Hadwin is coming off a decent season with a portfolio of five top-ten finishes and ranking 47th in the FedEx Cup standings. This has earned him a lucrative spot in the prized Signature Events for 2025. As the year unfolds, he’s experiencing a mix of fortune on the golf course, boasting one top ten finish but also four missed cuts across nine tournaments.
In the world of golf, just like in life, sometimes it’s about how you handle the unexpected moments. For the Hadwins, it’s with humor and a touch of grace.
