Months After Bold Tiger Woods Comparisons, DJ Khaled Inches Closer to His PGA Tour Dream

DJ Khaled, an American DJ, record executive, and record producer, is once again making news after making an outrageous but humorous comparison to golfing legend Tiger Woods. This time, it’s for his dedication to going after his goal of joining the PGA Tour. DJ Khaled, who is well-known for his musical accomplishments and charismatic attitude, has astonished both golf experts and fans with his renewed interest in the game.

Celebrities from a variety of industries are frequently spotted playing golf, which has long attracted the attention of the entertainment world. Hollywood celebrities, musicians, and even American Presidents have been seen participating in the sport, but DJ Khaled’s resolve to emulate Tiger Woods has drawn the most attention.

DJ Khaled’s weight loss journey through golf and PGA Tour aspirations

DJ Khaled talked openly about his remarkable weight loss journey in an interview with Page Six, crediting it to his recently discovered passion for golf. The 47-year-old producer claimed that he plays golf to indulge in his passion for the game while his wife does yoga.

“My wife loves yoga. I love golf,” he jokingly said. “So while she does yoga, I am golfing. I might eat more than I am supposed to eat — but I’ve been working on that a lot more lately. I have been feeling so amazing and inspired. I just feel great, and vibrant.” 

In addition to making DJ Khaled happy, his commitment to golf has produced impressive outcomes. The accomplished musician proudly remarked that since starting to play golf frequently two months ago, he has lost almost 20 pounds.

“I was 290 about two months ago, and I am 267 today, ever since I’ve been playing golf,” he exclaimed. “It may not be a lot to y’all, but it is a lot to me.” 

DJ Khaled acknowledges that his fondness for cinnamon toast crunch and chocolate chip cookies makes it difficult to maintain his commitment to fitness and wellness. He is nevertheless adamant about avoiding overindulgence, playing golf every day, and engaging in a consistent workout regimen.

“The only thing I want to curb is that I love chocolate chip cookies. I love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. That’s why I golf every day and exercise every day. So I kind of want to make sure I don’t overeat… but you know, I’m like everybody, I get excited,” he said with a smile.

As DJ Khaled continues on his path to better health and his dream of playing on the PGA Tour, fans and other celebrities are impressed by his hard work and progress. Whether or not DJ Khaled makes it to the PGA Tour, the way he works at golf has earned him respect in the sports world. In the spirit of Tiger Woods, who has been an inspiration to generations of golfers, Khaled’s pursuit shows what it means to be tough, work hard, and strive for success.

DJ Khaled’s golfing skills garner PGA Tour’s attention, highlighting need for diversity in golf

When DJ Khaled posted a video of himself hitting a tee shot on Instagram last year, he gave his followers a sneak peek at his golfing prowess. The PGA Tour shared the video on their official Twitter page because they couldn’t help themselves. They jokingly acknowledged Khaled’s sense of humor and confidence by using the words “Call me Tiger Woods” from his post-impressive stroke.

The comparison between Tiger Woods and DJ Khaled made by an ESPN journalist illustrates the potential impact of celebrities on sports, much to how Tiger Woods revolutionized golf two decades ago. Although Tiger’s presence increased the sport’s ratings, attendance, and money, it’s crucial to note that the demographics of golf have mostly stayed the same. Minorities, especially Black people, are underrepresented on golf courses in the United States, where the game of golf continues to be mostly played by white people.

The World Golf Foundation’s Michael Cooper conducted research in 2016 that found that just 20% of the 24 million recreational golfers in the United States are people of color, and only 4.4% of them are Black. Despite initiatives to encourage inclusivity and accessibility, these statistics highlight the lack of diversity in the sport. This emphasizes the continual requirement for more diversity and representation in golf at all levels, from casual play to competitive play.
