When will Gareth Bale play golf next?

Gareth Bale's love for golf is well known by his fans. After helping his team qualify for Euro 2020, the former Real Madrid star angered his club's supporters by carrying a flag with the words "Wales. golf. Madrid" printed on it.

So it wasn't surprising for people when the Welshman switched to playing golf just 21 days after announcing his retirement from football. He competed at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am as an amateur golfer playing alongside Joseph Bramlett.

Bale impressed his fans with his amazing performance on the greens, making some shots worth watching. Golf enthusiasts love his game and are intrigued to know when he will play next.

Gareth Bale has not announced anything about his new golf tournaments but fans will undoubtedly watch him play pretty often this year.

He dazzled the onlookers at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, hitting stunning shots in the first round. The famous footballer even received praise from professional golfers during the tournament practice session on Wednesday (February 1).

Gareth Bale was nervous to take his first of the day but managed to settle down and get familiar with the golf course.

He parred the first hole, then struggled a little in the second before hitting his third shot near the pin.

Gareth Bale left the commentators in awe with his stunning shots at the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am

Bale got off to a good start in a debut match while playing with 156 amateur golfers. He finished T18 after the first round.

Gareth Bale stunned the commentators with his golf shots. One announcer said:

"Got a drop of the path. This is where he's hitting his third shot at the second. He goes low and he hits an amazing shot inside four feet."

The former wales captain also discussed his shots in his interview and said:

"It was a great shot and I just tried to play into the bank and hope for the best like most amateurs do.

"It was nice to see it roll up nice and close and he was pretty much in for par so I was like 'I will pick it up' and he made me putt it because he was like 'this is going to be the greatest up-and-down'.

"I finished off nicely and it was a great shot, I can't really say much more."

The 33-year-old made a very strong impression in his debut match and even professional golfers could not hold back from appreciating him. World No. 3 Jon Rahm said:

"I told Gareth, you can't be so good at professional football and golf at the same time, it just doesn't seem fair!"

He added:

"Can't be dedicated to one thing and have this much talent for golf, it's not fair in the slightest. You can tell he loves this sport, he loves golf and he really wants to get to play a little bit more."

Noticeably, Aaron Rodgers won the 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am tournament in the amateur category while playing alongside Ben Silverman.
