Reporter Han Jae-hyeon = Gareth Bale, who retired from an active soccer player, has taken on a new challenge as a professional golfer. Bale’s golf skills have even professional golfers sticking out their tongues.
John Rahm (Spain), ranked third in the men’s golf world ranking, said in an interview with global sports media ‘ESPN’ on the 27th (Korean time), “Even though Bale played as a soccer player, he is overflowing with this much talent in golf. That’s not fair at all. As a footballer, he has no reason to be this good.”
Bale finished his football career with the end of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. He made a fresh start as a professional golfer to play the golf he loves. 스포츠토토
On the 24th (Korean time), he said through his social network service (SNS), “I am happy to participate in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am early next month.” This tournament is a PGA tour where both pros and amateurs compete, and will be held in California in early February.
Bale’s love of golf was great even during his active soccer days. This was to the point where he was accused of neglecting his duties as a footballer. But after his retirement from playing, Bale went unnoticed and went back to playing his favorite sport, golf.
