Bubba Watson Children: Meet Caleb Watson And Dakota Watson

Gerry Lester “Bubba” Watson Jr. is an American professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour.

Bubba Watson is one of the few left-handed golfers on tour, and is a multiple major champion, with victories at the Masters Tournament in 2012 and 2014.

Bubba Watson is among the longest drivers on the PGA Tour; in 2007 he had an average drive of 315.2 yards (288.2 m) and can hit a ball over 350 yards (320 m), capable of generating a ball speed up to 194 mph (312 km/h).

Bubba Watson finished top of the driving distance statistics five times in his career, thus, during the 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012, and 2014 seasons.

For his personal life, Bubba Watson is married to Angela “Angie” Watson (née Ball), a 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m) Canadian whom he met at Georgia while he was on the golf team and she was on the women’s basketball team.

Bubba and Angela Watson got married in September 2004. However, in 2009, Angela Watson was diagnosed with an enlarged pituitary gland, which accounts for her height.

Unable to have a child naturally, various family issues, including the illness and death of Bobby Watson’s father in 2010, kept them from attempting to adopt until 2011–12.

In March 2012, one week after a potential adoption fell through at the last moment, Bobby Watson and his wife adopted a one-month-old baby boy named Caleb Watson.

In late 2014 the Watsons adopted a baby girl called Dakota Watson.
