From invested alumni to casual fans, the College Football National Championship had something for everybody and professional golfers were no different. Already a raucous bunch of football fans, PGA Tour players got in on the action Monday night to offer their own brand of commentary to the proceedings.
Among the most interested were the those with ties to the competing schools, Clemson University and the University of Alabama, both of which are well represented on Tour.
