The PGA Tour runs the Web.com Tour, which held their annual
BMW Charity golf tournament over the weekend in Greenville. The Web.com Tour is
often thought of as the proving ground for younger players with aspirations for
making it to the lucrative PGA Tour. Yet the winner of the 2015 BMW event is
45-year old golf veteran Rod Pampling, further defining the Web.com Tour as the
place where professional players of any age can tee up their dreams.
Of course the BMW Charity
tourney isn’t all about pro golf, they also have a celebrity division that
brings stars from television and sports to play golf on Thursday through
Saturday. The lion share of the
acting stars came from the realm of television and included Frankie Muniz,
child star of Malcom in the Middle, and Terry O’Quinn of LOST fame. NCIS New
Orleans sent Lucas Black to Greenville. But maybe the top two fan
favorites came from Seinfeld, John O’Hurley better known as Mr. Peterman and
Patrick Warburton, or 'Putty.'
A part of the duties for
any celebrity, besides playing three consecutive rounds of golf, is to stop and
sign a few autographs and also to make a few photos. In most cases the stars
are gracious, but Lucas Black and Patrick Warburton seemed genuinely pleased to
sign the most trivial of mementos, and of course to take plenty of selfies with
fans. Their star power held up just fine while stepping out of TV land and into
their golf game.
