Harry Kane has lifted the lid on his “incredible” round of golf with Tiger Woods in the Bahamas and explained how YouTube has influenced footballers.
The Bayern Munich and England striker loves nothing more than hitting the fairways during breaks in his football schedule. He is now playing off a 3.7 handicap, with many hours spent fine tuning his game off the tee and around the greens.
The Bayern star got the opportunity to learn from one of the very best to ever pick up a golf club during a trip to the Caribbean. Kane, who is an investor in and brand ambassador for sustainable sportswear brand Reflo, told The Rick Shiels Golf Show: “I was out in the Bahamas, and a golf pro I knew casually said, 'Oh, by the way, I’m playing with Tiger this afternoon. Want to join?' It was one of those moments where I just thought, ‘Yeah, of course!’ It’s surreal.”
Kane added on trying to compete with a man that has five green jackets from triumphs at The Masters to his name: “We teed it up, and I hit a decent drive into the fairway. Tiger was walking, coming back from his injury, and I was in a buggy. We didn’t speak much on the course at first, but later we got chatting about family and life. He asked me to play 18 holes with him the next day, and it was incredible. I didn’t play great, but Tiger shot six-under. I kind of knew before anyone else did that he was back to playing really well!”
Golf has become a hobby of choice for many professional footballers, with the likes of ex-Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale and USMNT star Christian Pulisic expressing their passion for the game. Kane added on the role that social media has played in boosting golf’s appeal: “You get a lot of time away in hotels, and lads are always trying to find things to watch. YouTube Golf has exploded over the last few years, and I think it’s inspired a lot of players to take up the game. It’s a great way to switch off from the pressures of football and spend a few hours relaxing.”
While Kane is still playing plenty of golf since leaving Tottenham for German giants Bayern, his focus at present is locked on helping them to major silverware in 2024-25 – with the record-breaking frontman still waiting on the first trophy win of his distinguished career.
