The PGA Tour hosts a Pro-Am before almost every tournament on Wednesdays. It is a renowned charity event that unites professional golfers, athletes, and celebrities for a unique competition. Among all the other well-known celebrities, Justin Timberlake is one of them. He’s a regular at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and the American Century Championship at Lake Tahoe. So, basically, he has long been associated with the golf world, including his business partnership with Tiger Woods.

They are shareholders in the real estate development company NEXUS Luxury Collection and also own T-Squared, a sports bar. This story dates back to the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship in November when Timberlake made an appearance at the Pro-Am round. At that time, he played with Cameron Young. Now, you’d think Young would know a Timberlake since the latter is such a big star, but he did not.

Cameron Young appeared in one of the episodes of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon with Rickie Fowler, Xander Schauffele, and Matt Fitzpatrick. When he was asked about the most memorable pairing he had at the Pro-AM this year, he mentioned the instance he had with Woods’s business partner.

He saw Chuck Bob Joe and Timberlake’s names on the scorecard and was not sure if it was him. “I had no idea I was playing with him,” Young said in an interview. “I saw his name on the scorecard, and I thought that must be kind of someone else named Justin Timberlake, but it was not.” On the show, however, he said that later on he went to the greens and met Timberlake, and they ended up having an amazing time together.

The same year, on a sunny day with little wind, Cameron Young dominated at El Cardonal Golf Course at Diamante, embracing the power-driven style of course designer Tiger Woods. He recorded seven birdies, showcasing impressive precision and control. Young’s 7-under 65 placed him three shots behind first-round leader Cameron Percy. However, he could not maintain the pace for the remaining event.

Cameron Young dropped to the top 50 on the leaderboard

At the 2023 World Wide Technology Championship, Cameron Young only began and ended the match on a great note. But the middle rounds were disappointing enough to overpower his rounds of sixties. On Friday, he opened the second round with a birdie, but after an even-par, his round had three consecutive bogeys. The back nine, however, was pretty average with two birdies and a bogey. But he ended up scoring a 2-over, and well, Saturday was the same.

Cameron Young began from the tenth hole on Saturday. He ended up carding a double bogey on the par-4 twelfth hole and had three more bogeys. Thanks to the five birdies, his score was an even par. After going completely bogey-free on Sunday, he ended up with an impressive 8-under but landed himself with a T-54 finish on the leaderboard. He was a whopping fourteen strokes away from Erik van Rooyen, who clinched the trophy last year.

Timberlake and Woods’s owned T-Sqaured is located in New York, and Young also resides there. Do you find it strange that despite this, the pro did not recognize the 10x Grammy winner at first?
