The golf world is ablaze with excitement as the Players Championship continues to showcase top-notch action, leaving fans spellbound. Golf enthusiasts were treated to a tantalizing glimpse of Cheyenne Woods at TPC Sawgrass just one day before the tournament’s much-anticipated commencement.
The Brand Ambassador of Morgan Stanley, a major sponsor of the Players Championship, joined in the fan experience at the venue, adding to the tournament’s allure and elevating its appeal to new heights. But who was she rooting for?

The LPGA Tour star was recently asked on Instagram who she will be rooting for this week. And her answer was Justin Rose, who is a fellow brand ambassador for Morgan Stanley. She wrote “fellow Morgan Stanley Brand Ambassador @justinprose99, of course.”
And she has more than one reason to do so. Mike Walker, an avid golf fan suffering from Alzheimer’s, came to the tournament to support his favorite player, Justin. Moreover, Walker has been an avid fan of Rose for over a quarter of a century, beginning with Rose’s remarkable tie for fourth place at the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale when he was only 17 years old.
Furthermore, he watched with admiration as Rose’s golfing career took off, with 11 PGA TOUR victories, including the 2013 U.S. Open and the 2018 FedExCup, and 11 on the DP World Tour.
Their meeting on Thursday was a remarkable and emotional moment for Walker. This shows what a great and humble person Justin is. Furthermore, Rose is Woods’ partner in supporting Morgan Stanley’s eagles initiative.
