Gareth Bale makes his professional golf debut

The former striker is a big golfer. During the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, a golf simulator was installed in the training camp of Wales, which the player almost did not give up before important matches to prevent back pain.

Gareth Bale, who retired from football, has now fully dedicated himself to the sport and according to a message on social media, he will be competing in his first professional golf tournament in February.

The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, held in California from January 30 to February 5, has a total prize pool of $9 million.
