ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — When Davis Love III says the RSM Classic is a family affair, he isn’t just providing lip service.
As part of the pre-tournament press conferences, Love brought his granddaughter Eloise to the podium, and she explained how a hat she picked up at the tournament’s merchandise shop last year was so popular that she was offered money for it.
“Somebody asked me if they could buy it from me and I said yes, because why not?” she said. “I don’t know who it was, I kind of forgot, but somebody did and my mom got really mad at me.”
Davis Love elaborated.
“She kept getting asked and we said, well, why don’t you just sell it right off your head to the highest bidder? She came running in the next day, ‘$106!’”
Hats are some of the more popular items at the Sea Island Golf Club merch tent, some for fashion’s sake and some for practicality. Chilly temps on Thursday morning made knit hats something of a priority.
Also among the offerings are some baseball caps donning the number 15, which is how many years the tournament has been played.
And it’s possible you’ll see Eloise working in the stand if you drop by on the weekend.
“It’s good. We’re having a lot of sales. It’s very fun to work there,” she said.
Here’s a look at the merch tent’s offerings:
