How fun will it be to have your family’s support at every turn of your career? Well, best ask Aaron Baddeley, who is experiencing something quite similar on the Tour this week.

Baddeley sits in fourth place at the 3M Open. And if he wishes to grab the win at the $7,800,000 event, he will undoubtedly have to bring his A-game on Sunday. However, he has a ton of support to be able to do so! In a recent video of him after his stunning seven-birdie round on Saturday, the golfer was seen embracing his family, who have been rooting for him since day one. And that includes six of his kids!

The PGA Tour posted the video and flaunted the veteran’s support system on Instagram. Seeing his wife and “all his six children” run up to him after completing the day on the ground is pretty heartwarming. The family’s immense support for his game is reflected well in their smiles. Even Baddeley himself admitted to the reporter soon after that having his wife and kids present with him is very special. “This is a family thing for us. It’s not just me doing my own thing. We are all in it together.”

The PGA Tour star also mentioned how they’ve always been there for him. He opened up about how his daughter, Jolee, even wrote letters to WM Phoenix Open’s director, claiming he should have been at the event. The 13-year-old tried to make a good case for her father, and even though Aaron Baddeley did not end up playing at the WM Phoenix Open, the gesture was lovely and, as Baddeley calls it, “funny.”

However, as the golf pro has taken to the course this week, his entire family is in Minnesota, cheering for Papa Baddeley, and the fans are enjoying every minute of it.

In certain moments off-court, when players interact with their families, are vulnerable, or are themselves, they become more human and approachable to the crowd. Similar is the case here. The golf world is loving the positivity Aaron Baddeley’s family is radiating on the field.

One of them confirmed Baddeley’s feelings and wrote, “Family is important.” And another one chimed in, “What a great family support, Aaron!!”
