Golf tournaments have always held a special allure for many sports personalities who are eager to showcase their skills on the course. This is why celebrity golf competitions and pro-am tournaments have become such cherished events in the sports world. Recently, Jayson Tatum, an NBA star had the privilege of participating in the St. Jude Championship pro-am event held in Memphis.

This is the same location where the FedEx $20M St. Jude Championship is going to take place. Before going to play the tournament, Tatum, through a video shared by PGA Tour, flaunted away his customized golf accessories for his fans.

As Tatum eagerly anticipates the exciting event, he has gone the extra mile to fully immerse himself in the world of golf.

Additionally, Tatum proudly displays his collection of PGXs and PINGs, further enhancing his golfing experience. Notably, he showcases his cherished putter, a thoughtful birthday gift that bears the logo JT. In the video shared by PGA Tour on Twitter (now X), Tatum also mentioned that on the same putter, he had embedded his son Deuce’s name. The athlete then stated, “So hopefully I get some birdies today. Bring me some good luck.”

Tatum will no doubt approach his game of golf with the same vigor that he uses to play basketball. And why not when his biggest fan – his son Deuce is there to support him (this time through his name embedded on the putter.)

Jayson Tatum is a softie when it comes to his son 

In addition to being one of the NBA’s brightest stars, Tatum often prioritizes spending quality time with his son. Deuce too thoroughly enjoys his father’s company and can often be spotted on the courtside during basketball games.

During Game 3 of the playoff series in June, Deuce managed to steal the spotlight by unexpectedly joining his dad’s post-win interview. This heartwarming moment showcased their special bond and added a touch of joy to the celebration.

Tatum is great, on and off the court, and his latest stint with this exciting opportunity to indulge in the game of golf, gives him a chance to be a part of the action alongside professional golfers. What are your views about the pro-am event? Do share with us in the comments below.
