As we’ve seen through the years with guys like Damon Green and Paul Tesori, many loopers remain high-level golfers after abandoning their own playing dreams to caddie for others. Add Brent Henley to that list.

The younger brother of Kip Henley, a former mini-tour player and “Big Break” winner turned caddie, has worked for the likes of Woody Austin, Robert Garrigus, John Mallinger, and Garrett Willis. Although currently without a bag on the PGA Tour, that didn’t stop the former caddie closest-to-the-pin winner at the Players Championship from going on a Wednesday birdie binge. Check out this scorecard:

Short golf course that played even shorter but this will be the closest I come to shooting my age for at least 10 more years. I have no idea how or where this come from because I haven’t broken par but about 3 times in the last 2 years. ??‍ pic.twitter.com/Si78vMYpNe

How about that? A nice little Roger Maris. Not too shabby, Brent. And while he’s unemployed at the moment, he was happy to avoid one thing his brother, who currently works for Stewart Cink, had to go through at this week’s RBC Heritage:

OMG!!! I thought this Qtip thing was just a myth!! I think I will remain unemployed because I am not man enough to take this test! Surely there is a better way?!? https://t.co/0faFK5Y6K6

We feel you, Brent. Going low on the course seems a lot more fun than a Q-tip going deep into your head.

Since its introduction in 1997, the PGA Tour’s “These Guys Are Good” slogan has been one of the most recognizable advertising taglines in sports. It’s also a motto you won’t hear anymore starting this week at the RBC Heritage, as the PGA Tour has announced a new marketing endeavour, dubbed “Live Under Par.”

“The ‘Live Under Par’ campaign goes beyond capturing the incredible ability of PGA Tour players to score below par each week by showcasing and celebrating that same attitude of excellence that exists between players, players with fans, and players interacting with communities and charities,” said Joe Arcuri, chief marketing officer of the tour. “The new campaign captures not just a way to play, but a way to be.”

The slogan commenced on Monday with players, officials and tour-related media using the “Live Under Par” hashtag on social media channels.

The new rallying cry hopes to encapsulate life outside the ropes, speaking not just to the players but the people that comprise golf’s fan base. According to the tour, it’s one of the reasons that spurred relaxed enforcement of cell phones last year, trying to make the game more in tune with the times.

“We consider this campaign more of an evolution, growing from how our players’ competitive excellence was presented so effectively through ‘These Guys Are Good’ to doing that and so much more,” Arcuri said. “We are pulling the camera lens out, so to speak, to highlight the fun and excitement on tour and highlight the special interaction we see every week between our players and fans. We believe this, in turn, will help spur broader interest among a more diverse group of fans.’”
