On Wednesday night, a video of PGA of America President Don Rea rapping Eminem\u2019s \u201cLose Yourself\u201d went viral on Golf Twitter. Mind you, this was just hours after Team USA fans berated and abused the Europeans at Bethpage Black. So, yeah, not the best look for Rea.<\/p>\n
But, it got me thinking: What would golf\u2019s best players sing if they were in a karaoke bar? Why was that the first thing that came to mind? No clue, but it birthed a pretty good idea.<\/p>\n
So, here are my predictions.<\/p>\n
Scottie Scheffler<\/p>\n
Okay, I did some research. In 2022, he did an interview with Golf.com\u2019s Claire Rogers, and he said that he was listening to a lot of Flatline Cavalry because he has some friends in the band. Then I searched \u201cScottie Scheffler\u2019s favorite music\u201d and a Spotify playlist popped up. It\u2019s created by Scottie Scheffler<\/a>, and it includes a bunch of Flatline Cavalry songs plus tons of other country.<\/p>\n So, I\u2019m going with a song that\u2019s in there: All My Ex\u2019s Live in Texas by George Strait. Can\u2019t you picture it? I think there\u2019s a 90% chance I got this right.<\/p>\n Rory McIlroy<\/p>\n This was an easy one. We\u2019ve seen it.<\/p>\n After winning the Zurich Classic of New Orleans with his best buddy Shane Lowry, he belted out Journey\u2019s \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Believin’\u201d like he\u2019s done it 100 times before. And after his win at the Masters, the pick only makes more sense.<\/p>\n Nelly Korda<\/p>\n Nelly was tough. She\u2019s a country and rap fan, but since I got Scottie belting out a cowboy anthem, I went with a rap song for Nells.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s go with \u201cHot In Herre.\u201d It\u2019s a crowd pleaser, everyone in that bar would sing along, and it\u2019s by, well, Nelly. Makes sense to me.<\/p>\n Viktor Hovland<\/p>\n This guy’s into some, let\u2019s just say, unique music. It started with EDM-type stuff, then heavy rock , then something he called \u201cmetal core\u201d in this interview with Skratch five years ago.<\/p>\n So, I\u2019m going with the rock category, but a pick that would be accepted by folks in the bar: Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Like my Scheffler pick, I can absolutely see Vik belting this at the top of his lungs. The perfect choice.<\/p>\n Tiger Woods<\/p>\n I saved my best for last. I know exactly what Tiger would sing.<\/p>\n
