Sahith Theegala immediately became a fan favorite after being featured on the first season of Netflix's Full Swing.
The reason why viewers were so fond of him was evident in a video that his girlfriend posted on Instagram this weekend. The 26-year-old was shown surprising his caddie, Carl Smith, with a Rolex.
Smith couldn't believe his eyes.
This is absolute class (and might help restore some of your faith in American tour pros).

“This isn’t for me, is it?” Smith asked.
“Yeah, it is,” Theegala said. “You earned it. It was a lot of hard work.”
“My goodness,” Smith said. “No way, Sahith.”
Theegala, ranked No. 13 in the world, had his best season yet on Tour in 2024. He banked $8,474,215 and finished third in the seasonlong FedExCup standings, adding another $7.5 million to his pocket. In three full years on Tour, Theegala has collected $19,084,590 in on-course earnings.
Smith has been there every step of the way, so Theegala put some of that prize money to good use.
