SHE was dubbed the ‘World’s sexiest caddy’ after carrying her husband’s clubs in a sexy white jumpsuit, cementing her reputation as the queen of the Masters WAGS – even before the first swing was taken.

But the popstar-turned-model. 34, is not the only glamourous partner on the golfing circuit.
A newly single Tiger Woods – who is in the midst of a bitter wrangle with ex-girlfriend Erica Herman – will be attending the prestigious tournament alone.
However, his fellow swingers are supported by a host of beautiful wives and girlfriends – including a former Miss Georgia, a top pole-vaulter and a Hollywood actress.
As the Masters tees off in Augusta, Georgia, we look at the super-glam golfing WAGs who will be cheering on the would-be winners.

The pair actually met back in 2012 when Erica worked for the PGA. In fact it was Erica who helped Rory make it for his tee time at the 2012 Ryder Cup (thanks to a lift in a police car) when he famously got the time wrong.
Rory told Cool FM radio: “We were friends for a couple of years and we knew each other sort of from the golf circuit, and in summer 2014, towards the end of the summer, started to spend a bit more time together and it went from there.”
Despite her high-profile husband, Erica is said to enjoy a quiet, low-key life and gave birth to their daughter Poppy in August 2020.

“Can’t wait to be your wife, Scottie! Blown away at the Lord’s faithfulness and goodness to us. [LET’S] DO THIS!”
The two have kept their romance pretty low-key other than that – with Scheffler hardly ever sharing any pics with his wife to social media, and her accounts set to private. However, she is often spotted at his matches supporting him.

How can I improve my score on golf?
Improve your golf game quickly and easily with these simple tips.
- Play less and practice more. Practice more to become better at your chosen skill. Exercising too often can lead to poor habits.
- Feel good when you play. There are days when you just don’t feel like playing. Don’t force you to do things that are not enjoyable. Instead, find new ways to make playing golf enjoyable.

- Properly warm up. Before hitting the first shot in a round, warm up by walking or jogging for five minutes. You should then be flexible and agile.
- Keep your head down. It is important to look straight ahead when you tee up. Don’t look at the ball and pay attention to where it hits. Instead, focus your attention on the hole.
- Swing with proper form. Different people might interpret the same thing as proper form. However, it is important to not swing through the target. Instead, strike the ball towards the center of the club.
- Focus on the process. While there are several factors that contribute to a successful golf swing, focusing on the process will help you develop the most effective technique. You can relax your grip if your hands are slipping. Focus on good posture, if you find it difficult to balance.

How To
How to lower your golf scores in five easy steps
- Get the right equipment. You’re going to want to invest in some good clubs and balls. Learning how to play the game of golf is the best way to determine what kind of club to use. Ask around at your local driving range if you don’t know anyone who plays. They may even give you an instructor’s lesson for free if they like to see new faces.
- Practice makes perfect. This is obvious, but practicing is the best way to improve your game. You don’t have to play with friends or alone; practice is vital. Keep track of your progress when you begin practicing. Note everything that you do in order to track your progress.
- Play more. It’s likely that you will feel overwhelmed when you start golfing. You won’t be able to go out as often because you are spending too much on equipment. You’ll soon find you enjoy the game and you’ll be able to get back into your routine. Your next step is increasing your play frequency. Try to play at least three rounds per week. This would mean that you play one round 18 holes on weekends and two rounds 9-holes during the week.
- Don’t forget to eat well. Many people think eating well after lunch is better than breakfast. This isn’t healthy. Instead, eat something before you go out of the house. In order to be healthy, you should have small snacks with protein, carbohydrates and fat. Then, when you arrive at the course, you can have a light meal consisting of lean proteins and vegetables.
- Hydration is key. Drinking lots of fluids prevents dehydration, which can lead headaches or muscle aches. Additionally, water helps to keep your body hydrated which is essential for peak performance.
