Just when you thought YouTube Golf couldn't get more popular, one of the most famous people in the world arrives on the scene.
LeBron James has launched a YouTube channel dedicated to golf. His first video was released Saturday morning, featuring James and his former teammates from the Cleveland Cavaliers 2016 championship team celebrating a 10-year reunion with a round of golf at Cabot Highlands Resort's Castle Stuart Links in Scotland, which is ranked No. 55 among Golfweek's Top 100 International Courses.
The 90-minute video features most of the memorable characters from that Cavs squad, including Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and J.R. Smith, who is actually quite the stick (you might remember that he went back to college and played golf at North Carolina A&T after retiring from the NBA). Apparently Kyrie Irving couldn't make it, though.
The group plays a 3-on-3 match that gets a little heated at times, with James, Love and Jefferson teaming up against Thompson, Frye and Smith. I won't spoil who wins, but let's just say there weren't a ton of darts thrown or birdies made between the six of them. But it sure seemed like they were having a great time, and hey, that's all that really matters.
Earlier this week, a reporter at the FedEx St. Jude Championship posed a hypothetical to reigning Masters champ and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy: If he could offer a golf lesson to any one celebrity, who would he choose?
