We’re not sure what his schedule looks like, but LeBron James may want to consider competing in a pro-am golf tournament.
James, a four-time NBA champion and 22-time All-Star, has developed a serious passion for golf over the past few years. Just this month alone, he launched a YouTube channel primarily focused on golf. His first video included him and his 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers teammates on a golfing trip in Scotland.
Even though James is best known for his skills on the hardwood, he proved this week that he’s capable of holding his own on the course as well.

James shared a video of him nearly making his first hole-in-one. He knew it was a great swing from the moment he made contact with the ball.
“I would have run and jumped over the cliff into the ocean,” James wrote on X.
As you’d imagine, NBA fans had a lot to say about James’ incredible shot.
“Bron is about to become a golf influencer post retirement,” one fan said.
“Don’t jump off a cliff Bron we need you to play at least 2 more seasons,” a second fan wrote.
“Man is gonna be the goat in another sport,” another fan declared.
LeBron received an open invitation from a PGA Tour member.
Earlier this week, five-time PGA Tour winner Sam Burns said he’d love to play a round of golf with James.
“I think as a fan of golf, I mean, to have LeBron James be a supporter and obviously growing the game is great,” Burns told TMZ. “He has such an impact on so many people around the world. So it’s great for our sport. It’s great for what he’s doing for it. And we’re happy to see him out there enjoying some golf.”
Hopefully, the NBA’s all-time leading scorer accepts that offer from Burns.
