Former Wales captain Gareth Bale has said he will take part in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, after announcing his retirement from professional soccer earlier this month.
Bale, who is 33, will play alongside professional golfers and celebrities at the event which begins Feb. 2 in California.
The ex-Real Madrid striker has never hidden his love of golf. He had also been criticized for posing with a banner that read: “Wales. Golf. Madrid. In this order. »
Tournament participants include actor Bill Murray and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers as well as defending U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick and world No. 5 Patrick Cantlay.
Bale announced his retirement earlier in January. He won 22 trophies during his career, including 5 Champions League titles with Real Madrid and 1 MLS Cup with Los Angeles FC.
