Golf’s Willy Wonka? Bubba Watson opens candy store in Florida
Bubba Watson, pictured Tuesday at the PGA Championship, is now the owner of a candy store in Pensacola, Fla.SPRINGFIELD, N.J. – Come with me, and you’ll be, in a world of pure imagination…
That’s what could have been playing Tuesday in the interview room at Baltusrol Golf Club, site of the 98th PGA Championship. No, Willy Wonka will not tee it up this week, but golf’s version of the candy connoisseur will.
Bubba Watson, the sixth-ranked player in the world, will vie for his third major title this week just west of Manhattan. But four days ago, he was back where he grew up, in Pensacola, Fla., for the grand opening of his latest business venture: Bubba’s Sweet Spot.
