Hello, friends, and welcome to this week’s edition of the Rogers Report! While I’m bummed that the PGA Tour playoffs have come to an end, I’m looking forward to attending my first Solheim Cup next week at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Virginia. I’ll be heading there with my co-worker and pal, Zephyr Melton, so be on the look out for some fun content from that.

Speaking of team events, the Presidents Cup teams were named on Tuesday, and I’m feeling really good about both teams.

Some things to note: This is Adam Scott’s 11th appearance on the International team. Thankfully, Instagram now allows you to share more than 10 photos in a single post, or else we would have missed Scott’s incredible walk down memory lane.

His hair in 2009 and 2011 really was something. On the other hand, this will be the first Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup without Jordan Spieth or Justin Thomas since 2012, when they were just 19 years old. I’ll miss watching them tee it up in Montreal, but I’ll really miss Jordan Spieth singing the song he made up about Si Woo Kim during press conferences.

Check out that crew. JT and Spieth, along with Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson. The good old days!

OK, on to the last week in golf.

The Theegalas’ big week
Sahith Theegala got a lot of attention at the Tour Championship for calling a penalty on himself, but that wasn’t my favorite thing I saw from the 26-year-old at East Lake.

My love for the Theegala family, specifically Sahith’s father, Murli, began when I watched the first season of “Full Swing” on Netflix. It’s only grown since then, especially because the Theegala crew always seems to be showing out in full support for their guy. Things were no different last week, when Sahith’s fan club showed up in custom T-shirts with a banner in hand to celebrate his 100th start on the PGA Tour.

Not that 100 starts is a “little thing,” but it’s so endearing to see the Theegalas celebrate all of the milestones that come with being a PGA Tour player, not just wins. They’re all so supportive. I feel like Team Theegala would show up and cheer for me if I told them I was going to attempt to parallel-park in Boston. All things are worth celebrating!

What made Theegala’s 100th start even sweeter was the fact that his brother, Sahan, missed his first day of classes at Seton Hall to watch his big brother tee it up.

I’m sure his professors understood.

The big family week continued into the weekend for the Theegalas when Murli turned 60. You know you’re a big deal when you get a birthday shoutout from the PGA Tour. According to my observations, those are usually limited to major winners.
