A career switch to Golf
Many were left confused when Bale retired from soccer and started playing golf. However, not many people are aware that the Welshman was always keen on playing golf. Often criticized for his actions and questioned on his commitment to Real Madrid, the Welshman was often seen playing golf and coming late to training at the Bernabeu.
Once, while out on international duty, he infamously held out a Welsh flag that reads ‘Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order’ Bale set his priorities straight with this action.
As of now, there have been talks about him officially joining the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
It was prior to that event when Bale joined Rahm, who is recognized for his abilities across the world. Moreover, Rahm has also been at the Ryder Cup representing Europe.
Upon meeting and spending some time with Bale, Rahm expressed his appreciation towards Bale and his golf skills. He joked around while saying that the Welshman “had no business” being so good at the sport.
While talking to the media present there, he 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.'”
