Bubba Watson claimed his first career PGA Tour victory at the Travelers Championship in 2010, so it’s an event that’ll always be important to him. During this year’s tournament, he hosted a special Travelers Championship Twitter contest.
Watson asked his fans to submit videos of themselves doing something that’s better under an umbrella (which is the Travelers logo), with the prize being a GoPro.
Here are some of the best submissions Watson received, some of which are, well … different.

I’d have to say Watson chose a worthy winner. It’s definitely the most creative, especially because it features golf, unlike some other submissions.
I do have to give the guy getting pelted with raining golf balls a bit of credit, though. He brought an element of danger to his video. Not to mention his car took a beating, too.
