As the NFL season has commenced, fans can’t keep calm. Nor can sports stars. The football fever has caught golfers as well. After Paige Spiranac [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/paige-spiranac/] shared her bold picks for this season [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-nfl-news-not-queen-more-like-a-traitor-paige-spiranacs-mind-waver-with-aaron-rodgers-decision-keeps-her-fanbase-buzzing-over-nfl-picks/] the LIV golfers are jumping onto the football bandwagon and sharing their favorites. Differences though have arisen between Talor Gooch and Bubba Watson as the team members share different opinions on who would emerge as NFL victor. Let’s dive into the story. TALOR GOOCH AND BUBBA WATSON SPLIT VIEWS ON 2023 NFL WINNERS Golf players are big sports enthusiasts and as the NFL season has begun, the LIV golfers can hardly contain their excitement. Taylor Gooch quickly shared his favorite team for the win this year. Gooch made a video from a golf course riding a cart and shared his hometown team as a favorite. In the video, he says: “All right everybody, NFL Football is starting back up. Where I am from Oklahoma, college is king, but I still love the NFL. And I am curious who you all guys think is gonna win this year.” He continued, “I think the dude Joe Burrow and the Dawgs in Cincinnati. I think they are gonna win it all this year. I think it’s about time.” But disagreeing with Gooch is his team captain Bubba Watson who has different choices for this year and shares them at the end of this video.

Cincinnati? he said, chugging. “Man everybody knows who is gonna win. You got Hill but you also got Waddle.” Dancing the little waddle dance, Gooch said: “Dolphins got the waddle.” The video was shared by RangeGoats GC. And it is not just the LIV players who love football.

When all is said and done, it can be said that a lot of golfers — from PGA Tour as well as LIV Golf, are nicely unwinding themselves at present by indulging in football.
