The 20th edition of the BMW PGA Championship will kick off in a few hours. Ahead of the opening round, just like every other year, there were celebrity appearances at the Pro-Am on Wednesday. Retired tennis player Andy Murray was announced to be playing with Robert MacIntyre. However, there was another surprise visit.
On Wednesday morning, the official X account of the DP World Tour posted a video of Tom Holland at the Wentworth Golf Club, preparing to tee off with the professional players. He was not alone. The Spider-Man star and his dog Daphne arrived at the course for a day of golf. He first met World No. 3 Rory McIlroy and Ben Stokes.
After shaking their hands and teeing off with them, Holland then met Tommy Fleetwood. There, his brothers Sam Holland and Harry Holland joined him to hit a shot or two with the PGA Tour pro. After teeing off, Fleetwood’s six-year-old son Franklin joined them for a photograph. Tommy Fleetwood shared the adorable picture on his official Instagram account, with the three posing in the iconic Spider-Man web pose while sitting on the ground. In the caption, he wrote, “Cast for Spider-Man 4.”
