Top 5 Best Celebrity Golf Players in 2020

Anyone can pick up a golf club and learn to play, but a very select few are successful. This is why watching celebrity golf tournaments can be so entertaining!

Not everyone loves working out during the winter, and not everyone loves working out in a gym environment. If you love golf and like to be fit while playing it, you might want to invest in an indoor golf simulator as winter keeps you away from outdoor practices.

Ever wonder who among them as a truly professional golfer?

The answer may surprise you.

Below are the top 5 celebrity golfers in 2020.

Maybe there are more similarities between golf and hockey than we thought. Coming in at number 5, this legendary hockey player is also a legend on the links.

Well, maybe not a legend, but he is known for keeping up with professional golfer Dustin Johnson just a few years ago.

Gretzky has played in several celebrity tournaments, most notably AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

He’s admitted he’ll never be a scratch golfer, but with no formal golf training, he looks pretty good so far.

4. Kelly Slater

Kelly Slater is an 11-time world champion in surfing. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, he played a 3-handicap in the AT&T Pro-Am in 2015.

Slater says he has been playing golf since the age of 23 and tries to get in as many rounds as he can each year. 

At just 47, Slater could have quite a few years of golf left, so watch out for him!

3. Justin Timberlake

He’s an actor, musician, pop culture icon … and an exceptional golfer!

Justin Timberlake has been playing in celebrity golf tournaments for years. He once claimed he could go pro by the age of the 30, but he never reached that goal. 

Still, Timberlake is known to make quite a showing at Pro-Am tournaments. From his infectious personality to his fashionable gold shirts, you can’t miss him on the course.

Timberlake has been playing golf with his father since he was young. In fact, his family even owns a golf course in Memphis.

2. Michael Jordan
