The PGA Masters tournament is in full swing. While Brooks Koepka stuns the entire golfing circuit with his miraculous return after dealing with severe injuries the past two years, several other celebrities have graced the event with their presence.

Saleh’s love for golf

There came a point in time when Robert Saleh felt completely drained. The then 29-year-old Saleh felt the pressure of being an NFL assistant coach while being a newlywed. Saleh needed an escape, and that’s when his wife urged him to take up golf. Since then, it has been one of Saleh’s longstanding hobby, and quite frankly, we can’t blame him.
