In pics: US Presidents Cup Team wives and girlfriends paint their partners
The US Presidents Cup Team players' wives and girlfriends recently painted portraits of their partners in a fun activity. The American golfers are gearing up to compete in this week's prestigious team event in Canada.
The tournament is scheduled to start on Thursday, 26 September. Painting was also one of the activities lined up for the players' partners. The gorgeous ladies showed off their painting skills as they created colorful and comical pictures of the golfers.
The Presidents Cup shared the creative paintings of the US team players' wives and girlfriends on its X account. In the slew of pictures, all the WAGs posed with their partners and their artwork.
Scottie Scheffler and his wife Meredith were joined by their newborn Bennett for the painting. Meredith drew the USA flag behind the two-time Major winner’s picture and humorously colored his black beard blonde in the painting.
Xander Schauffele’s wife Maya also created a painting of her husband. She made a simple portrait with a background resembling a golf course, complete with a flag and some painted birds. The most artistic picture came from Russell Henley’s wife, Teil Duncan, who is a fine art painter. Her portrait was quite professional.
All the players’ wives and girlfriends painted their partners, and you can check out their creativity below:
Notably, ahead of the tournament, the wives and girlfriends also attended the opening gala and graced the red carpet in glamorous dresses. They posed with their partners and the Presidents Cup trophy.
