Yet looks can be deceiving. He may look the part and act the part but
there are certain aspects to this down home boy we just can't ignore.
When asked once what was important to him Bubba said, in
order of importance, being a Christian, Husband, Daddy and Pro Golfer. Bubba and his wife Angie adopted a son,
Caleb, just before his first Masters win two years ago. There was little Caleb racing across the
course to meet his Dad after this win.
Bubba, whose real name is Gerry Lester "Bubba"
Watson, Jr. has won over $23 million dollars and is ranked 4th in the world in
the PGA, yet he still held his celebratory dinner after the Masters after
midnight at the Waffle House with his family.
In 2012 Bubba launched a "Drive to a Million"
charity to raise money for charities close to his heart and by November 2013 he
had raised over $1.3 million. He also is affiliated with The First Tee of
Northwest Florida, Fresh Start, Birdies for the Brave, and the Ronald McDonald
House of Pensacola.
