Rather than compete in the Texas Open this weekend, Jordan Speith, Rickie Fowler, Smylie Kaufman and Justin Thomas got suitably pissed for a spring break in the Bahamas. The lads turned their holidays into a kind of major social media occasion, calling it #SB2K16, and labelling it the 'sixth major'.
SB2K16, or the 6th major, will be an annual event held at Baker's. What a time @SmylieKaufman10 @JustinThomas34 @RickieFowler

Kaufman, in particular was prolific on Snapchat, and if you enjoy watching rich, American golfing males enjoy themselves, then have a look below:

Rory McIlroy was not present, having turned down an invite for a most noble reason:
After seeing all these snapchats over the last few days... Maybe I should have taken @RickieFowler up on the invite! pic.twitter.com/6vWoFV9LlU

We assume that the earlier reference to 'grinding' is unrelated to the holiday antics. Also, who knew that Spieth could be so fun?
