Back in 2014, we debuted our #TourSauce series. Since then, the phenomenon has caught fever in the golf world, but along the way, the definition of what is #TourSauce has been blurred to the point where it is in danger of it losing its identity. In trying to repair the #TourSauce brand, I will periodically check in with some updates from around the world in the sauce. If you’re still struggling with the definition, please check this link and read through the series. In summary, #TourSauce is a series of things that only make sense to be doing if you are a PGA Tour pro.
Tour pros spray sauce all of the time. What we like to point out are the truly unique and hilarious occurrences of the sauce. A quick search of the hashtag on twitter gives us the following for this week.
