Did we just become best friends — again?!
Jessica Hadwin, the wife of PGA Tour pro Adam Hadwin, had some fun on social media Tuesday in the wake of the Tour’s stunning merger with its LIV Golf rival, firing off memes about seeing the spouses of players on the Saudi-backed circuit again.
“Me messaging my favorite LIV wives right now,” Jessica tweeted alongside a scene from the Starz series “Outlander” that featured an emotional reunion.
Chelsea Uihlein, whose husband Peter Uihlein is a member of Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces GC squad on the LIV Tour, responded to Jessica, “It’s me. I’m your favorite LIV wife.”
Jessica replied with a separate meme that read, “It’s true.”
Ipsa Jamwal Lahiri, who is married to LIV’s Anirban Lahiri, a member of Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC team, also took notice of Jessica’s Twitter activity.
Upon tweeting, “Girl,” with an emoji face holding back tears, Jessica responded to Ipsa with the gif of two toddlers running toward each other and hugging.
Much of the golf community is still coming to terms with Tuesday’s bombshell revelation, in which the PGA Tour, LIV, and the DP World Tour will form one company, essentially ending the sport’s civil war.
The announcement came just days before the 2023 RBC Canadian Open, in which the 35-year-old Hadwin is competing.
Everything to know about the PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger
PGA Tour and LIV Golf are ending a war — by joining forces.
The two golf leagues, along with the European DP World Tour, are merging into one company after a period of fierce rivalry, one where LIV Golf defectors were banned from competing on the Tour.
LIV, financed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund and led by legendary golfer Greg Norman, lured some of the top names in golf last year with reported nine-figure contracts, including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau.
Other huge golf names, however, like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, stayed loyal to the Tour, despite being offered a massive amount of money.

Norman said last year Woods turned down a payday in the range of $700 million-$800 million to stick with the PGA Tour.
With the merger, the Saudi-backed LIV and the Tour are ending an antitrust battle and agreed to end all litigation between the two sides.
“After two years of disruption and distraction, this is a historic day for the game we all know and love,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. “This transformational partnership recognizes the immeasurable strength of the PGA TOUR’s history, legacy and pro-competitive model.”

The PGA Tour winner, who has been married to wife Jessica for six years, was asked for his thoughts on the merger Tuesday at a press conference ahead of this week’s tournament.
“I read it like most people when it came out this morning,” Hadwin said, according to Golf Channel.
“We were given an email, I read through, we also got an email with comments from [PGA Tour commissioner] Jay [Monahan] regarding it, um, I don’t know, I’ll be honest. I think that what’s transpired the last year and a half, and the rhetoric, not only on this side but on that side as well, I think it’s difficult to look at that and say, ‘How did we get here now?’
“I do believe everybody probably saw, eventually something happening. I don’t know if it was a complete merger, quote-unquote, like it is, but certainly, the entities coming together or finding a way to coexist so the best players could continue to play against each other more often and not just at the four majors right now, but, in this way, I don’t know if people saw it, I don’t know if I ever saw it in this way but beyond that, there’s so many details to be worked out and that haven’t be talked about and discussed, I don’t know if I can go any further than that.”
Jessica, whose Twitter bio states “questionable humor or bad jokes are my own and do not reflect the views of my husband,” was sent a video of Hadwin’s presser by a user and offered a playful response.
“I’ve heard a similar monologue when I told him I hit the garage door for the second time in a year after playing it off as a very freak accident the first time,” she joked.
