Georgia Tech #ProJackets Golf Report

THE FLATS – With the Masters now in the rear-view mirror, the PGA Tour resumes competition this week with four Yellow Jackets competing in two events in Hilton Head, S.C., and the Dominican Republic, while the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Champions return next week … Chris Petefish returns to action with a high finish on the GPro Tour … More details below in this week’s Georgia Tech #ProJackets Report.

COMPETITION ROUND-UP

PGA TOUR

Matt Kuchar, who currently ranks No. 125 in the FedEx Cup standings, is the only former Yellow Jacket in the field for this week’s RBC Heritage in Hilton Head Island, S.C. Kuchar won the tournament, which is now one of the Tour’s signature events, in 2014 for one of his nine career PGA Tour victories.

Meanwhile, Chesson Hadley and Vince Whaley (No. 144 in FedEx Cup points) are in the field for the Tour’s alternate event this week, the Corales Puntacana Championship in the Dominican Republic. Also in the field is Nicholas Thompson, who earned a spot in open qualifying. Thompson has not played a PGA Tour event since the 2022 Wells Fargo Championship.

My goodness @JustinRose99 has showed some serious guts, but still must feel like the whole world is rooting for his opponent! I wonder what that might feel like!

Amazing perseverance shown by @McIlroyRory today @TheMasters. What a roller coaster! Thanks for the thrill, well done and well earned. Anyone who’s ever struck a golf ball is envious.

I’ll definitely remember all the shots and Rory falling to his knees on 18, but more than anything I’ll remember my kids investment and reaction to Rory’s last putt going in. It was, without a doubt, their “Masters Moment” @TheMasters @KVanValkenburg https://t.co/KlD0YN5cAv
