College GameDay is a big pre-game celebration for college football and is a loud and happy affair. This week on Saturday, ESPN’s College GameDay got its own touch of golf. Harris English, who very recently won the Ryder Cup with Team USA, was announced as the celebrity guest picker for the show taking place in Athens, Georgia.

Team USA had secured a historic 19-9 win over the Europeans, and their win is still being celebrated by fans. The announcement was also made in style, with teammates joining in.

All in all, one can say that English is having a pretty good time. The 32-year-old PGA Tour icon was representing his country and is now representing his alma mater on Saturday.

The crowd here though might be louder and will probably have an extremely different vibe than the Ryder Cup. English, as per reports, is the guest picker for a game between the two unbeaten SEC teams Georgia and Arkansas.

English’s GameDay announcement was made in a nice video that featured his Ryder Cup teammates and captain. In the video, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Collin Morikawa, and Justin Thomas puff on a cigar. Koepka appears with a paper bag on his head. It is meant to make fun of his own alma mater (Florida).
