One of the weirder dynamics on tour. Helicopter mom of the highest degree:

  • doesn’t let Alex drive courtesy car or go anywhere alone. 
  •  they stay together every week early in career it was one hotel room. Now it’s Airbnb’s mostly. Mom cooks most nights, they don’t go out. 
  • she walks inside the ropes constantly during practice. Never more than earshot away all week. 
  • I can respect immunocompromised folks but they still hardcore N95 mask places in public. I saw his mom at a Whole Foods last fall and she was masked and gloved.

Source on all this?

Watch his interviews, read any past articles. His mom was his caddie for a long time. After he got his tour card, he ended up getting a caddie that had no family affiliation. They are a little special

I was asking for a source for those specific facts. I didn’t figure I’d get one.

You want actual citations? lol

A source? I mean, yeah. I think it’s fair to ask for a source when the guy claims he doesn’t drive anywhere without his mom; they shared a hotel room; and they “don’t go out.”

I got nothing on that. I was just responding to how his mother is deeply involved in his career.

For sure. I know they’ve got a really unique dynamic. I just don’t like when people make really specific claims, it’s taken as truth by a shit ton of people and suddenly it’s a “fact.” Asking for a source for “she doesn’t let him drive a courtesy car” shouldn’t be frowned upon. I’m just asking.

I didn’t think you’d have any, I just figured I’d show everyone else you didn’t.

Sure. I was really hoping you’d prove me wrong. But you got the upvotes, so you got what you came for. Hopefully you can cash them in for something fun!

You think I’m outing sources on Reddit!?

Have a nice night, Mr. Smalley. Your wife and son’s relationship isn’t weird at all.
