Rory McIlroy revealed that he was invited on the trip by Fowler but regrettably had to decline the offer – and ultimately was forced to watch how the trip unfolded on social media.
While the legendary Gary Player took a trip down memory lane and posted a picture of his Spring Break safari in South Africa with fellow star Jack Nicklaus in 1965…and wondered why he wasn’t invited on the trip with the Americans!
Here’s the best of the Tweets on social media:
