“Because what they do for the caddies, what they do for the players like I mean, now we have a Champions locker room, like this stuff’s, it’s like high-class class. Like, they figured it out. What comes with that is you have like, relationships with the people that have put it on because you know, it’s a lot more personal,” he added.
