Veterans Day: Golf world shares appreciation for those who served
Thursday features a loaded slate of golf, with the first rounds of the PGA Tour’s Hewlett Packard Enterprise Houston Open, LPGA’s Pelican Women’s Championship and PGA Tour Champions’ season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
But today, Nov. 11, it’s important to stop and honor those who have served in the armed forces. Whether you call it Veterans Day, Remembrance Day or Armistice Day, take a scroll through some of the social media posts of professional golfers, like Justin Thomas and Annika Sorenstam, who shared their appreciation for those who served their country.
From all of us at Golfweek, thank you for your service.
