Okay, so I’ve been curious about celebrity golf handicaps lately, and Justin Timberlake’s name kept popping up. I mean, the guy’s a multi-talented performer, but how does he fare on the green? So, I started digging.
My Deep Dive (and Rabbit Holes)
First, I hit up the usual spots – you know, general Google searches. I typed in “Justin Timberlake golf handicap” and scrolled through a bunch of articles and forum posts. The numbers were all over the place! Some said he was close to scratch, others put him in the single digits, and a few even suggested he was in the teens. It was a mess!
I spent a good hour just reading conflicting information. It was frustrating. I needed something more concrete.
So, I tried to get a little more specific. I started looking for mentions of him playing in specific tournaments, especially Pro-Ams. Those often have some handicap info attached, right? I figured that would be my best bet.
- I combed through reports from the American Century Championship, where he’s played several times.
- I also checked out any coverage of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am.
This is where it got a bit clearer (though still not perfect). I found several sources mentioning his handicap fluctuating over the years. It seems like he was around a 4 or 5 handicap a few years back, maybe even lower at his peak. I saw some older articles hinting at him being close to scratch, which is seriously impressive.
Then I found some more recent stuff, suggesting his handicap might have crept up a bit as he’s gotten busier with other things (you know, music, movies, family… the usual). It’s totally understandable – golf takes time and dedication!
My Takeaway
From everything I gathered, it seems like Justin Timberlake is definitely a very good golfer. He’s likely a single-digit handicap, probably hovering somewhere between a 4 and an 8, depending on how much he’s been playing lately. He might have even been closer to scratch (a 0 handicap) at one point. I ended up spending way more time on this than I planned, but hey, it was a fun little investigation!
It’s easy that get to conclusion after all the search and data collection, Justin is a skilled golfer.
