The WM Phoenix Open was fortuitous for Adam Hadwin. The Canadian golfer registered a spectacular T9 in Arizona with a score of 14 under par across the four days. This was Hadwin’s best performance on the PGA Tour this season, having competed in 5 of the 6 events so far.

Hadwin, who bore a fresh-shaven look for the Phoenix Open, scored an impressive 5 under par on the last round and registered his first top 10 finish on the tour since the Memorial tournament held in June 2024. While Hadwin was perfecting his swing and nailing his putts, his family was involved in a very funny incident. Jessica Hadwin, his wife, shared a video on X stating, “The beard clean up has caused an existential crisis in our lil family.”

The family was seated in the living room and watching the Phoenix Open. Maddox Amelia Hadwin had an observation that brought laughter and joy to the entire household. “That is not my daddy!” exclaimed the 5-year-old, after seeing Adam Hadwin without a beard.

And to be fair to Maddox Hadwin, it was not just her that was confused. Several fans who were watching the WM Phoenix Open were also stupefied, by the new-look Hadwin. A netizen replied to Jessica’s video with a tidbit of their own. “I was watching and thought, that’s not Adam!! Grow it back!!,” demanded the user comically.

With or without the beard, it is great to see Adam Hadwin’s family enjoying a light-hearted moment. And maybe the clean-shaven look could be a lucky omen for the Canadian golfer, considering his improved performance. But no matter what, his family is there to support him.

Adam Hadwin’s loving family

Adam Hadwin has a thriving family life. His wife Jessica and he met via a dating app in Wichita in 2014, while Hadwin was playing on the Web.com Tour(now known as the Korn Ferry Tour). “We were Tinder-matched in Wichita, and we went out once when I was there that week (and) had dinner.” Three years later, the duo tied the knot on March 25, 2017. The wedding was extra special because it came only a few weeks after Hadwin’s first and only PGA Tour victory. Hadwin beat Patrick Cantlay by one stroke to claim the Valspar Championship.

On January 8, 2020, the couple welcomed their first daughter. Adam Hadwin shared a social media post with a caption that read, “Hello World! Maddox Amelia Hadwin. Born January 8, 2020. 7lbs 1oz.” Both Maddox Hadwin and her mom are regularly featured on social media. They were both also present at the Augusta National Golf Course in 2024 in their white jumpsuit for caddies, providing support to Adam Hadwin.

Moreover, Jessica Hadwin is quite popular amongst golf fans, mostly because of her razor-sharp wit and likable personality. The acute care nurse practitioner has ‘Mom’ in her social media bio. However, she does more than that behind the scenes. She runs the Hadwin Family Foundation, which she established with her husband. The organization is for supporting families that encounter sudden medical hardships.

Maddie’s Miracle Grant, a program they offer named after their daughter, aims to support deserving families for in-vitro fertilization. “Having Maddy’s Miracle Grant has really opened my eyes to how much that piece is weighted in the process. It’s make-or-break for most people,” Adam Hadwin explained to the PGA Tour in 2023.

Adam Hadwin’s loving and beautiful family life complements his vibrant golfing career. The camaraderie and fun is there for all to see. Hadwin will be next in action at the Genesis Invitational, happening at the Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego. Here is to the Canadian and his loving family!
