Golf Legend Tiger Woods Once Sidelined Michael Jordan To Choose David Spade As the Better Golfer

Not many athletes have the confidence to perfect the other sport unless you are

Michael Jordan. The NBA Hall of Famer has tried making a name for himself in the world of baseball but failed miserably. Nonetheless, he is also known for being decent at golf, but his friend and golfing great, Tiger Woods, once revealed that Jordan was no better at golf than David Spade.

Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan share a great bond. Both stars have been friends for quite some time and even attended each other’s weddings. Moreover, both legends also had several golf sessions together.

Unsurprisingly, Woods must be well aware of Jordan’s golf skills. During a Golf Digest interview with Hollywood actor, David Spade, Tiger was asked to pick the better golfer between the NBA star and the actor. His answer surprised everyone, including Spade himself.

During the interview, Woods took David Spade around the Rolling Hills Country Club. The talk session comprised some entertainment discussion and deep conversation about confidence. Both men also indulged in a round of golf. However, while moving from one hole to another in a golf cart, Spade decided to ask the “Jordan” question.

“You ever play Michael Jordan?”, asked the Hollywood star. Woods replied with another question, asking, “Like against him?” Spade responded, “Yeah”. The ‘Grown Ups’ actor then asked the 15-time Major winner who’s better at golf. Tiger comically replied, “I would say You”.

David Spade, who couldn’t contain his laugh, ended the conversation by stating, “I mean out of you two”. Whether Woods meant it or not, is still a question. Nonetheless, both Spade and Jordan are decent golfers.

The 58-year-old David Spade has taken part in several pro-am events. Michael Jordan too has taken part in some pro-am events, including the 2007 Wachovia Championship, where he teamed up with the Woods. Moreover, Jordan’s love for golf can be seen in his Netflix documentary, “The Last Dance”. He also owns a golf course in Florida.

When it does come to the comparison between both celeb golfers in terms of handicap, Michael Jordan has the upper hand over the Hollywood star. The NBA legend has a handicap of 1.2, while Spade has a handicap of 36. Perhaps, one may imagine that Woods was pulling the leg of his longtime NBA buddy during the interview.
