Historic Caddie Ace Leads TPC Practice Round Fireworks | Rogers Report
Early morning excitement filled the air at TPC Sawgrass as players and media gathered for the Players Championship. Rory McIlroy kicked things off with a 7:45 AM press conference, sporting stylish Travis Scott x Air Jordan Is that showcased his personal flair.
A surprising discovery came when a man was spotted standing in what appeared to be relatively shallow water by the 16th green, challenging long-held assumptions about the iconic pond's depth.
The day brought two remarkable achievements at the famous 17th hole. First, caddie JJ Jakovac (Collin Morikawa's looper) made history during the annual caddie competition by scoring a hole-in-one, shattering the previous closest-to-pin record of 1'2". The celebration that followed perfectly captured the magical moment.

Among the day's lighter moments, Justin Thomas and Max Homa were treated to red velvet cake pops at the 17th green - a small but sweet highlight that brought smiles all around as players completed their final preparations for the tournament.
The combination of historic shots, surprising revelations, and moments of pure joy made for an entertaining and eventful day at TPC Sawgrass as players gear up for one of golf's most prestigious events.
