Who on TOUR is driving a personal vehicle between events still?

[touch]

Wonder if any of you know of a TOUR pro that is driving his own RV or vehicle of another kind to

the events? Back some years ago many did this. They can't all be taking planes now can they?

Some loopers do carpool to the next TOUR stop don't they?

[Drijver]

John Daly is known for this.

[touch]

JD I did know about thanks.

[andef]

Rory Sabatini, there was a clip about him and his family traveling this way on Inside the PGA Tour

[BrianMcG]

DL3 used too.

There were a bunch not too long ago, I saw a story somewhere about them. They would all park together like they were tailgating.

[KILLEDBYASHANKEDWEDGE]

Didn't I see Bubba at the Masters in his General Lee?

Its proably cheaper to fly than pay the gas to fill up the gas guzzling RV.

[birdman72]

I know in past years Davis Love III and Jason Day used to take RV's but not sure if they do that anymore.

[Gozz]

A few articles on RV's on the PGA which states there are 19 to 20 players that travel by RV.

Nope, ferry. Looooong ferry.

I now remember seeing Dlll's bus on Inside the PGA TOUR and they showed the custom Harley in a compartment under the RV just like the article states in the link given above.
Easy life for sure.

I remember there was an article about DLIII's bus once he purchased it and how swag it was. He came back from the driving range or something and stepped into his trailer to find two men's shoes near the entrance. He walks to the back of the bus and into the bedroom to find....Fred Couples asleep on his bed with the flat screen TV still on. Classic Couples.

Thought you were going to say Tim Herron in the icebox getting some cold cuts out...

[Carolina Golfer 2]

Yeah, DLIII is the first one i thought of.

As for the caddies I know, they are driving by their selves now. It used to be common for them to all pile in a heap and drive town to town. But with the prize money going up so much in the past 10 years, therefore their paychecks allow them to travel by themselves mostly now.

Now that sounds like a commerical in the making

[sheppy335]

Patrick Reed is doing that between stops!

[jonnyrose]

My wife was chatting it up with Troy Matteson's wife during the Transition's this year, and she mentioned that they use their RV to get around when practical, like during the Florida swing.

[MizunoJunky]

I remember seeing an inside the PGA show with Jason Day going a tour of his new RV that he takes between events with his wife.

That would make hooking up with tour groupies a little awkward.

Tiger Woods used to take an RV until Ian Poulter tried to bum a ride off of him. He kept it loaded with popsicles which he wouldn't share with anyone.

I heard he wouldn't let the other boys play with his ps3 either.

Didn't I see Bubba at the Masters in his General Lee?
[/quote]

Watson drove to Augusta the last couple years but that has more to do with where they live. Augusta is basicly driving distance from Sea Island GA.

[lukesmurf59]

Some guys do it by choice, I think JD-slix just can't afford a house.

All kidding aside, I love John Daly but could he please clean it up and play well or just go home. Enough John. Play better or just pick up. You'll probably be the greatest senior player ever because by the time your in your 50's, your swing will be parallel as opposed to 3/4.
(If this holds true my ugly swing will be winning tournaments into it's 80's)

Bubba doesn't/didn't live at Sea Island, Ga. He had a home in Az (sold it, I believe) and a lake house in NC (sort of near Greensboro, I believe). Now lives in Orlando at Isleworth.

Lexington, NC which he sold or is selling. The Charlotte Observer had an article about him selling it.
