In the video uploaded by PGA Tour on their official Twitter account, the PGA Tour commissioner is seen gifting first-timers at players some cufflinks. However, the player’s relation VP, Phil, decided to play a little prank on the professionals. He tells the first-timers that they will have to pay about $8,000 for the cufflinks.
Phil has a funny conversation with a German professional, Stephan Jaeger. Explaining the exorbitant price, he says, “So it’s’ due to a few reasons back in the office”. To which Jaegar replies, “I don’t want any cufflinks. I am out”. Phil adds, ” What do you mean you’re out?”
Stephan replies, “I am not f**king paying for cufflinks. I don’t want any.”
A gift from the commissioner … But not without a price. 😆
