Gareth Bale Impresses in His PGA Golf Tour Debut!

Gareth Bale Impresses in His PGA Golf Tour Debut! The former footballer has found a new sport in his retirement.

Former Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale began his PGA Golf career last week. He impressed in his first ever showing, in his second favourite sport behind football.

The Welshman announced his surprise retirement from football at the beginning of the year. The soon to be 34-year-old has now begun his venture into golf.

In his Madrid days, he publicly stated that he preferred golf over the Galactico’s, a club where he won 5 UEFA Champions League titles.

“I think every amateur will tell you they are out of their comfort zone, even though we are used to playing in front of 80,000 or more live on TV. It is a completely different sport.

“It is something that is just different, and it is a cool experience, and I am lucky I hit one of my best shots down the first fairway which was nice.” Bale spoke after his performance.

He has been paired with Joseph Bramlett.

“We met about a year ago and we have just been speaking over the year,” he said.

“I said to him last week, let’s prepare for this week. He had a great week last week and what a player.

“He is a world-class player. Just watching these players play, you can learn things and how they go about their business and how they do their process.

“It is just nice to watch and pick up things, their demeanour, their focus.

“It is different from what we were used to, but it is similar to my profession. We have similar traits, so fantastic playing with him today.” The Welshman added.

He will be looking to push up the PGA ranks. Gareth Bale Impresses in His PGA Golf Tour Debut!
