Is the future already here? It looks like, especially when one sees the futuristic golf cart jetpack of Bubba Watson. This unbelievable flying machine can reach a height of 3000 feet and a speed of just under 50 mph. This fascinating-looking cart is sure to change the golfing landscape, but how? The jetpack can accommodate a single person and has an extra space in the back for keeping golf clubs and other utility items, making it easy for players to navigate through the golf course. However, Watson sees other advantages to this machinery. Watson says [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpEkN1NdjKU], “The biggest advantage I see is the bird’s-eye view.” He does not stop there. He believes that in this fast-paced world, golfers always try and look for ways to quicken the game of golf, and this innovative cart is just that. Watson thinks that this jetpack will increase the tempo and make the game more enjoyable. “You could do 18 holes in about 20 minutes,” he jokes. [https://www.cnbc.com/2018/05/24/bubba-watson-shows-off-his-250000-bw-air-golf-cart-jetpack.html] [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-look-recent-photo-of-tiger-woods-playing-poker-is-going-viral/] Although, there are a few disadvantages as well. It is reported that the engine is noisy. Furthermore, there is a good chance that the jetpack may move any golf ball it flies over. In 2016, Oakley and the Martin Aircraft [http://www.martinjetpack.com/]Company collaborated to create [https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/279357] this futuristic golf cart, which would cost about $200,000 to $250000 when it hit the market. However, it is still a long way to go before the PGA gives its acceptance. 2021-2022 SEASON OF BUBBA WATSON Bubba Watson’s best finish in the 2021-22 season came at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, where he finished T-4. Watson has played only seven events so far in the 2021-22 season and finished T-39 at the Masters; The tournament where he had won twice. He shot a final-round score of -1 and a four-day total of +7 at this year’s Masters. Bubba Watson’s last win on the PGA Tour came at the 2018 Travellers Championship. The 43-year-old has won 12 times on the PGA Tour, including two majors. On the 14th of April, the two-time major champion tweeted informing his schedule for the current season, stating his intentions to qualify for the US Open. We certainly hope that he should qualify for the US Open. Let us know in the comments below.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Bubba Watson 2023: Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</span></h2>
Bubba Watson (Gerry Lester Watson Jr.) is an unparalleled professional left-handed American golfer. He has scripted a great number of golfing achievements in his career, including two major wins.

In 2022, Watson shocked the golf world by leaving behind the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. Here is all you need to know about Watson's rise to fame, his professional achievements, and other accolades!
<h2>Early life and family</h2>
Bubba Watson was born on November 5, 1978, in Bagdad, Florida. However, he currently resides at Pensacola, Florida. He started to play at the age of six. At that tender age, his father gave him a cut-down 9-iron with which he played around the house, striking whiffle balls. His father was his first and the only teacher who taught him the basics. After that, Watson taught himself, thus developing a unique playing style.

He married his wife, Angie, in 2004. The couple adopted two children. They adopted Caleb, a son in 2012, and a daughter, Dakota, in 2014.
<h2>Amateur career</h2>
Watson started to play golf at a very young age and never stopped playing it. After initially dabbling in baseball for a while in his Milton high school, Watson left that sport for golf. He played in his school golf team, and when he went to college in Alabama, Faulkner State Community, he continued playing.

Even when Watson went to study at university (the University of Georgia), his passion for the sport did not subside. He left college a year before he graduated and turned pro in golf in 2002.
<h2>Professional career</h2>
After turning pro, Watson toured from 2001 to 2005 with the Developmental Nationwide Tour. In 2006, as a PGA rookie, Watson led in the driving distance. He averaged around 319.6 yards per drive.

After joining the LIV league, Watson was also made captain of the RangeGoats GC. It is one of the twelve teams in the league and includes Talor Gooch, Thomas Pieters, and Harold Varner III.
<h2>Net worth and endorsements</h2>
