Former Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale's love for golf is well-documented but it appears any suggestion he might turn professional 💵 is wide of the mark for now.
With the Welsman's glittering football career now over, he has been a regular on 💵 the golf course as he moves into a different chapter in his life. And he proved his talents are not 💵 limited to the pitch as he took part in the BMW PGA Celebrity Pro-Am. Arriving at Wentworth with an handicap 💵 of 0.5 - showing he has been working on his swing - Bale caught the eye as he was joined 💵 by household names such as Rory McIlroy, Jermaine Jenas and JP McManus.
In fact, four-time major champion McIlroy seemed very impressed 💵 with the former Tottenham winger, who was proving very adept at the DP World Tour event. In his dulcet Northern 💵 Irish tones, he was heard praising the retired footballer for his efforts after his opening tee-shot.
Seemingly pleasantly surprised by the 💵 former Wales talisman's connection, he said: "Good strike! That's OK there". In a memorable moment, the world-famous pair then shared 💵 an approving smile before Bale's former Spurs teammate Jenas took to the tee.
Despite his excellent showing in front of golfing 💵 royalty, it does appears that the five-time Champions League victor still feels he has a lot to learn when it 💵 comes to his second love. In an interview with Uproxx, the 34-year-old explained that he still feels far off professional 💵 standard.
