Wait! Is that Team Pennsylvania’s #4 on Saturday’s highlight reel?

You better believe it is!


“It was a Saturday to remember at PGA Frisco and the National Car Rental PGA Jr. League Championship. Check out the Best of the Best highlights with these Choice Shots Driven by National Car Rental.” — PGA Jr. League, via Facebook & Twitter/X.





(Just look for the young man in the yellow shirt with the really long last name on the back 😉)



Every State’s (or Commonwealth’s) team that participated has incredibly talented, and obviously very hardworking young golfers that they can be proud of! It was such a pleasure, and so much fun to watch this Championship. Congratulations to all of the golfers and their families.

“Two dads, a rookie and a caddie….”

“Every one of these young men and women are fighting for each other, not just themselves. Don’t put so much pressure on yourselves. Go play with your teammates, but have fun doing it.” — Ben.





From an article on PGA.com, by Hayley Wilson:


Two dads, a rookie and a caddie took to the stage for the Welcome Party at the National Car Rental PGA Jr. League Championship.

That joke isn’t quite all it seems. In fact, these four are household names depending upon your age, favorite sport and media of choice.
The panel, moderated by America’s Caddie, ESPN analyst and former standup comedian Michael Collins, included three fellow multi-hyphenates: Tony Finau, the six-time PGA TOUR winner, Team Utah Assistant Coach and dad to team member, Jraice; two-time Super Bowl champion, Pittsburgh Steelers legend and Team Pennsylvania dad to Benjamin, Ben Roethlisberger; and an on-fire PGA TOUR young star with three wins under his belt since he earned his card just two years ago, Tom Kim.

In front of a crowd of 96 junior golfers, their coaches and family members, the panel spoke about their experience with the media, teamwork, winning and losing and, most importantly, food.





Kim, who turned pro at 15 and was entrenched in social media from the start, had sage advice around the negative side effects that come with being a public figure in the digital age.

“One thing I’ve learned being in media and social media is that the hatred people give you … they don’t hate you. They hate where they are in life,” said Kim. “A lot of times, it has nothing to do with you.”

While he didn’t come of age in the era of social media and has chosen to forgo it all together, Roethlisberger’s advice was universal.

“When we talked back in the day, it was a newspaper article and it was gone,” he said. “Now it’s around forever. Be aware of what you say, since you’re representing yourself, your family, your faith or whatever it may be.”

“Benjamin Roethlisberger Jr., local team to compete

…in PGA Junior League National Championship.” 🏆⛳🏌️‍♀️


From Colin Beazley at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

A Roethlisberger and his team are about to represent Pittsburgh and compete for a championship on National TV, and it’s not Big Ben this time.

The former Steelers quarterback’s son, 11-year old Benjamin Roethlisberger Jr., and seven other local children will be competing for the PGA Junior League national championships started Wednesday in Frisco, Texas. The tournament runs through Sunday and will be broadcast live on the ESPN networks on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.



The team, based out of Diamond Run Golf Club in Sewickley, advanced through multiple levels of qualification to reach this point. They competed for various different clubs throughout the PGA junior league season, then became an All-Star team in early June. The team competed as four two-person scrambles and won the Tri-State sectional event at Willowbrook in early August, then won the regional championship against three teams from New York in Syracuse in mid-September. Only 12 teams made it to Texas, where Diamond Run will compete as Team Pennsylvania.

The team is full of excellent golfers, but their coach, Adam Morrison, believes the team is special.

“The talent level obviously speaks for itself,” Morrison said. “… Golf’s a sport where it’s typically individual, but at the end of the day, you’ve got to have a teammate here and they’re all good teammates. They’re great kids.”

Sitting around a table after a recent practice, it’s clear both that the team genuinely likes each other and that they’re not nervous for the upcoming tournament.

They’re only a little bit worried about being on ESPN, but they’ll get used to it. They’re all excited to watch their own highlights on YouTube.

It’s also cool that the team doesn’t really care that the son of the former Steelers quarterback is on the team — he’s just Ben. From his scramble partner Bush, to Rittler, Ameredes, Hendrick, Miller, 12-year old Elijah Stewart, from East Liverpool, Ohio, and 11-year old Avella native Logan Gamrod, no one treats Little Ben any differently.

It’s the same way for the elder Roethlisberger. He often caddies for his son, but he’s not seen as a celebrity here.

“He’s just a normal dad,” Morrison said. “I think that’s the best way to say it. … He’s a great dad at […]

Footbahlin’ with Ben Roethlisberger, Episode 53

Join Ben and Spence at the bar once again:


‘The guys sit down to talk the Steelers Week 5 loss to Cowboys. They cover Dallas’ impressive defensive performance despite having a bunch of injured players, as well as Justine Fields’ command of the passing game and why we don’t do that more. The guys also introduce the new segment “Footbahlin Family Dinner” where the guys grab a bite and talk about life. This week’s family dinner looked at the significance of obedience through the life of Jim Elliot over Ben’s signature frozen pizza.’
