That. Just. Happened.<\/p>\n
Fans may be quoting Will Ferrell\u2019s \u201cTalladega Nights\u201d character Ricky Bobby next week, as the movie star will make an appearance at the Travelers Championship<\/a> for Celebrity Pro-Am day on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Ferrell probably won\u2019t respond if you call him by name though, because he\u2019ll be there as Lonnie \u201cThe Hawk\u201d Hawkins, promoting his new Netflix comedy series \u201cThe Hawk.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe Travelers Championship is excited and looking forward to having Lonnie \u2018The Hawk\u2019 Hawkins at the tournament next Wednesday. Fans won\u2019t want to miss The Hawk and see him interacting with the best players on the PGA Tour,\u201d a spokesman for the Travelers told The Courant.<\/p>\n Ferrell plays a washed-up former golfer who was the best in the game in 2004, but who is struggling to recapture the magic late in his career.<\/p>\n \u2018The Hawk\u2019 won\u2019t be playing in the Pro-Am, but will be interacting with fans.<\/p>\n Ferrell has made appearances in Connecticut in the past, such as when he stopped by the Milford Diner in character as Ron Burgundy<\/a> from \u201cAnchorman.\u201d<\/p>\n
