Justin Timberlake had been an avid recreational golfer. The musician has various businesses, including one with Tiger Woods. The two have a sports bar called the T-Square Social. As a golf enthusiast, it was given that Timberlake would know of Sergio Garcia. The star even acknowledged him at his concert.
From the first night of the Forget Tomorrow Tour in Austin, Garcia shared a snippet of Timberlake having fun with him. From the brightly lit stage, the singer recognized the LIV Golf pro in the middle of his performance. He jokingly gestured towards Garcia near the stands, acting out a golf swing. The pro laughed while grooving to the music. He captioned his video writing, “See you on the course” and perhaps gave Timberlake a challenge to play against himself.
This was an unexpected interaction between the LIV Golf pro and Justin Timberlake that many did not expect. Thus, once the video surfaced on social media, it made the golf fans love the encounter a lot.
It was surprising that Justin Timberlake took the time to interact with Sergio Garcia and more so since the two have never been seen together. Reflecting this very sentiment, one fan exclaimed, “This is epic!”, while another wrote, “That’s awesome!!”
Justin Timberlake might be one of the best musicians of today’s era and, on the other hand, Sergio Garcia too is the top face in the golfing world. This fan was impressed with the interaction between the pro and even appreciated the duo indirectly, writing, “Game recognises Game.” Another found the situation hilarious and asked Garcia, “Wow did you dance back to Justin!?.” To answer this, the Spaniard did move a little in response.
Seeing the interaction between the two, one fan had a fun suggestion where Garcia and Timberlake could play a fun round of golf in Texas. The fan recommended, “Serg, that needs to be match #1 on ,your YouTube channel! Timberlake v. Garcia, stroke play at The Omni Canyon Course! Loser has to karaoke the song of the winner’s choosing.”
Will Garcia and Timberlake play the challenge? That remains to be seen but Sergio Garcia will definitely be playing golf again in just 4 days at LIV Golf Houston! Are you excited?
