In the clip, the 36-year-old sported a black t-shirt with camel-brown trousers. The jest of the video showed Wilder swinging a golf club with immense power and taking a long-range shot.
Though he succeeded in hitting, his swing did not leave an impression on fans.

Notably, Wilder has faced heavy criticism for his legs before. His legs are too skinny compared to his upper body.
Another fan wrote, “His back swing is horrendous lmfao. Doesn’t open up at all. Even dips the dirt before contact. Dude can’t learn to box properly and now he doing the same in golf lol.”
