DJ Khaled's Golf Debut: A Surprising Hit and Controversial Miss

Palm Beach Gardens, USASaturday, January 11, 2025

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy’s new golf venture, TGL, kicked off with a bang. The inaugural event at the SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, saw The Bay Golf Club beating the New York Golf Club 9-2, drawing an impressive 3. 3 million viewers. DJ Khaled, a well-known musician turned golfer, appeared at the event, causing quite a stir.

Former PGA Tour pro Smylie Kaufman wasn’t impressed with Khaled’s interview during the match. He thought the segment was clunky and disrupted the flow of the event. Kaufman suggested that the mic banter between golfers could be improved, though he acknowledged the overall production was impressive. During the interview, DJ Khaled compared himself to Tiger Woods, boasting about his golf skills. Fans weren’t happy with Khaled’s boasting and the interruption of the game. Another controversial moment was when Khaled interrupted Ludvig Aberg’s shot to share his insights, which fans found annoying.
