These pro players turned heads on Halloween

Hello friends, and welcome to the Halloween edition of the Rogers Report! I am pleased to report that the professionals and their families came out in full force this year.

Donalds and the Europe team

No golf pro family does Halloween quite like the Donalds. They fully commit every year, and 2024 was no exception. 2025 Ryder Cup captain and his family dressed in New York City-themed costumes in preparation for his work at Bethpage next fall, and they did not disappoint.

Even their dog got into it! I’m a big fan of the dedication here and I’d like all Ryder Cup captains to dress like the city they’re competing in next.

Team Europe’s captain wasn’t the only one who brought their A-game to Halloween on Thursday. Shane Lowry went like Travis Kelce and his daughter went as Taylor Swift. As a massive Taylor Swift fan, I have to give Lowry the official Rogers Report award for Best Costume, because showing respect to Kelce is indirectly showing respect to Swift. I wish he had some friendship bracelets to really bring his costume to the next level.

I was definitely one thing NO the wait to see on my social media feeds on Thursday night was Rory McIlroy dressed as Mario.

I didn’t have any professional athletes or celebrities in my hometown growing up, so I can’t imagine what it must be like for families to see the best players on the planet in full suit. Hilarious, I would imagine.

Imagine handing out candy to cheaters and suddenly two big champs are at your door with their kids who look like this! Unbelievable.

LIFE golfers

Next we have the LIV Golf Halloween costume division. I really hope all the players below were given full size candy for those who cheat.

Anthony Kim wore a matching inflatable dinosaur costume for his daughter, Bella, on Thursday.

To think that many golf fans spent the better part of the last decade wondering where Anthony Kim was, and now he’s posting photos like this online. I wonder if that suit helped him stay incognito while he ran errands in recent years.

Brooks Koepka, Jena Sims and their son became characters from “Men in Black”.

I can’t really break this suit down as I’ve never seen the movie, but I believe he hit the nail on the head.

Marc Leishman and his family had the closest costumes in my opinion because there wasn’t really a cohesive theme. There were several Taylor Swift-themed costumes, as well as a cow and a pink monster.

I’m a huge fan of anything Taylor Swift, so they get an A in my book.

Kevin Na and his family were inspired by the Star Wars costumes, which is no surprise because they crush the costume game every year.

For reference, here’s their Halloween 2023 look:

And to round out the LIV Golf division, we have Talor Gooch who didn’t dress up, but that’s okay because his kids looked adorable like Elsa and Olaf from Frozen.

LPGA Tour

Jessica Korda, her husband and son dressed as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Thursday night, and Nelly Korda went as Master Splinter.

The LPGA also posted a handful of fun Halloween photos, so enjoy these amazing photos from the day before.

PGA Tour

And now for the PGA Tour (Non-European Ryde Cup Team) division. The Woodlands, Blairs, Burnses, Kaufmans and Villegases all had great costumes, but there is one family that went above and beyond.

Tony Finau headed to his late mother’s grave to perform “Thriller” in costume with his family, and the results were incredible.

No one does social media or dance better than the Finau family.
