![]() He then walks by the golfer and says, “That’s what I play.” There’s a commercial that takes place at a PGA Tour Superstore and a golfer is looking at balls and says to himself, “So many choices.” Suddenly a box of TaylorMade TP5x balls falls off the shelf and there appear Higgs’ smiling face because he has pushed the box forward with a stick. I don’t know of any other PGA Tour player who hasn’t won an event in North America and has commercials and sponsors. It’s not just because of his weight, it’s also his demeanour. He is currently playing in his fourth season on the PGA Tour and has quite a following. Perhaps it’s only fitting he won an event sponsored by Diners Club. ![]() Higgs has recorded two professional wins, one of which is the Diners Club Peru Open on the PGA Latinoamerica Tour. There are others such as Craig’s son, Kevin Stadler (Srixon Z Star XV), Jason Dufner (Titleist Pro V1x) and Jason Kokrak (Titleist Pro V1). Higgs isn’t the only current PGA Tour player with a big girth. Think of former full-time PGA Tour players such as John Daly and Craig Stadler and you have the image of which I am speaking, but they could pack a punch with their paunch – which is to say they could win. He carries added weight, to be exact, around his belly. He also resembles what some pro golfers used to look like physically before physical fitness took over the sport. The man affectionally known as Big Rigg embodies a spirit and personality that makes him hard not to like. I have but one golf wish for the holidays – that that the golfing gods spread their love toward Harry Higgs (TaylorMade TP5x) and gift him with a PGA tournament win, preferably sooner rather than later.
