Now, this is what it's all about.
Joel Dahmen, who is a golfer on the PGA Tour, decided to pay for a fan's bar tab after accidentally hitting him with stray ball.
Dahmen was competing at the PGA Championship when one of his shots during his practice round went slightly off target.

In fact, the said effort ended up striking a spectator on the leg.
But instead of blowing up at the guy and asking why on earth he was standing so close to the fairway, Dahmen thought he'd approach the guy in a civil manner.
Not only did the check on the fan's safety, but he also went above and beyond to ensure the bloke had a good end to his day.

The spectator, Caleb McGuire, tweeted: "Shoutout to @Joel_Dahmen for hitting my calf with a tee shot today on hole #1! He proceeds to ask me how much a beer costs at the tourney and I tell him $17 a pop. He then pulls out a crispy $100 bill and says "I got your beers today'."
Caleb also posted a picture of himself alongside his golf hero following the kind gesture as well as a mark on his calf – clearly where the wayward ball had hit him.
According to Barstool Sports, Dahmen has made over $10,000,000 throughout his golf career.
So yes, $100 may be chump change to him, but that's besides the point.

While most athletes probably wouldn't even acknowledge the incident, Dahmen decided to go into his own pocket to help the guy out.
What a legend!
