Finally freed from his contractual obligations with Real Madrid and then the Los Angeles Galaxy, Gareth Bale will be able to start his real career as a top athlete. We happily troll but since May 26, 2018 and his sublime acrobatic return in the Champions League final against Liverpool (3-1), the Welsh striker had become a sacred intermittent spectacle on the football pitch. After a very dull jubilee in the Welsh jersey, during the World Cup in Qatar last month, here he is, at 33, launched towards a possible career as a professional golfer.
The former revelation of Tottenham (from 2007 to 2013) will in any case participate in one of the most prestigious tournaments of the American pro golf circuit (PGA), the AT & T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, scheduled for January 30 to February 5 in California. He himself announced it this Tuesday on his Instagram account, indicating that he was “delighted” with this news. Two weeks after formalizing his end of career, Gareth Bale has not been slow to bounce back where he seems to have been most comfortable for many years, on the golf greens.
On the occasion of this tournament, he will rub shoulders with both actor Bill Murray (registered like him among the 156 amateurs in the running) and the winner of the US Open Matt Fitzpatrick, or the world number 5 Patrick Cantlay, all two obviously present on the professional table. Just over three years after posing hilariously with an ultimate trolling banner “Wales. Golf. Madrid. In that order “, the Welshman will certainly bite into his best life in a few days.
