Golf is a unifying domain for the sports and entertainment world to execute their athletic skills. The common leisure activity for various celebrities allows the game to be celebrated in a rather grandeur manner. In fact, the mere existence of the American Century Championship indicates the diverse love the sport caters to.
A similar sentiment swirled at the recent DP World Tour event in England. The BMW PGA Championship Pro-Am event witnessed various entities on the field including soccer star Gareth Bale, and cricket icons James Anderson and Stuart Broad. Among these, yet another prominent name was the Hollywood superhero star Tom Holland. Spiderman couldn’t seem to hold back his inner fan on meeting Spanish golfer Jon Rahm as they went down memory lane to the Augusta Masters.

Hence, the surprising wedge of the tournament in England this time was not the victory but rather Rahmbo’s latest confession associated with it. Calling the Masters “special,” the current champion opened up about how this tournament is different than other events.
