Jacksonville Jaguars Mascot Wins Closest-to-the-Hole Competition at TPC Sawgrass
In an occurrence that doesn’t seem physically possible, a man encased in a giant animal costume has won a golf event in Florida.
PGA.com reports Curtis Dvorak, the man behind the fur of Jacksonville Jaguars mascot Jaxson de Ville, donned his costume and dropped a tee shot within a few feet of the cup at TPC Sawgrass on Thursday.
Dvorak participated in a closest-to-the-hole event being held at the course as part of the lead-up to the PGA’s upcoming Players Championship tournament. Each competitor had two swings at the 17th hole—a tricky island-green setup with the pin placed 117 yards from the tee box.
It’s a difficult shot for pros in sweat-wicking polos, much less a guy clothed in a helmet and 30 pounds of synthetic fur. Didn’t matter. Jaxson de Ville nailed it.
