RAFA CABRERA BELLO

Growing up in the Canary Islands, it comes as no surprise that the man known as ‘RCB’ is a lover of all things sun and surf. But the Spaniard only took to surfing in his 20s, becoming quickly adept and better than the 15 handicap he claims to be in the water.

“The biggest and clearest similarity is commitment. In golf when you decide on a shot, you have to commit to it. You have to forget everything else, trust your instincts and hit the shot. In surfing, I get the same feeling.”

Like Scott, Cabrera Bello has struck up a friendship with Kelly Slater and visited his famed surf ranch this year.

BUBBA WATSON

The part-owner of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a minor league baseball team, has always been passionate about America’s favourite pastime.

Watson, the winner of two green jackets, once dreamed of becoming a baseball star and has been spotted taking batting practice on his visits home.

“One thing I know for sure is that you won’t see me out there in a uniform playing,” Watson said in 2015. “I already asked, and they said I can’t do that even if I own part of the team.”

GARY WOODLAND

Like Johnson, the American oozes athleticism and is almost equally adept on the hardwood of a basketball court as he is on the fairways.

Woodland attended Washburn University on a basketball scholarship, but quickly realised his professional ambitions were a little fanciful, moving to the University of Kansas on a golf scholarship.

“Heading into college, I definitely had the belief that I could play basketball professionally. But in our first game, we played the University of Kansas and they were on a completely different level,” Woodland told TaylorMade.

SERGIO GARCIA

Like most Spaniards, Garcia is passionate about football. In particular Real Madrid and his hometown team CF Borriol, of which he is part-owner and former club president.

Garcia became financially involved in the club in 2003 and has made multiple appearances for the team in Spain’s sixth division, displaying skills that suggest a career in the world game might have been an option if not for his golf ability.

Sergio put his skills on display again last week during the European Tour’s player and caddie match, depositing a curving shot in the top corner of the net.

RICHARD GREEN

It’s not difficult to tell what the Victorian left hander might be doing if he wasn’t a golf professional when looking at his social media accounts or considering some of his past and present sponsors like Valvoline and Orix.

More than just your average ‘revhead’, the three-time European Tour winner owns a Porsche that he has raced in the Australian GT Championship, as well as at one time owning one of Larry Perkins’ Bathurst-winning Commodores.

BABE DIDRIKSON ZAHARIAS

Unlike the others on this list, Zaharias didn’t have the potential to excel at other sports in the professional arena, she did it.

An All-American in basketball during her time at college, the 10-time major champion turned her attention to Track and Field and claimed two gold medals at the 1932 Olympic Games.

After her athletics career, Babe pitched multiple innings in exhibition games of Major League Baseball and is arguably one of the greatest athletes of all time.
