The 7 Worst Celebrity Golfers, Ranked

These swings are not hitting

May 10th is National Golf Day 一 hurrah! It’s a day to commemorate rich elites hitting a small ball wearing polos, khakis and a possible visor. 

So why not share in the celebration by ranking some of the worst celebrity golfers 一 many, if not all, of whom will be on the green at this year’s American Century Championship.

May the worst man lose.


7. Larry the Cable Guy

Surprisingly not the worst, but also not necessarily good at golf either. If you need high-speed coaxial cable he’s probably your guy. But don’t look his way if a respectable handicap is what’s needed.

6. Miles Teller

If there’s one battle situation Rooster wasn’t trained for at the Top Gun training school, it was golf. The actor played a lackluster tournament in the 2024 ACC, finishing dead last in the second round. He shot a minus number only James Worthy would love.

5. Alex Rodrigues (A-Rod)

A stationary ball should be pretty easy for an all-time great  baseball player to hit, right? Former MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez would say otherwise after his performance in last year’s tournament where he consistently finished in the bottom five in each of the three rounds. Perhaps he should try celebrity basketball and play for the team he owns on the celebrity circuit.

4. DeMarcus Ware

Ware had 5,000-to-1 odds of winning. That’s it. That’s the entry.  

3. J.J. Watt

According to pro-golfer Jon Rahm, former NFL player J.J. Watt is one of the worst celebrities he’s ever played with, mainly due to the amount of power he puts behind his swings. He told Eli Manning, “I tell him all the time, he’s too strong. Like, you can’t be that strong and that big and play golf.”

2. Rick “The Boss” Ross

For someone who is so committed to the sport in his later years to the point where he personally cleans his own private course (among other landscaping tasks), Rozay is pretty awful. ESPN’s “Matty and The Caddie” noted how bad the rapper was when they played: “You know you’re not a good golfer when your goal is to hit it in the water.”

1. Charles Barkley

There are only so many times someone can be named one of the worst celebrity golfers by an entire community. Barkley has held that crown just two years shy of 15. Wear that crown proudly, king 一 you deserve it for a swing this ugly.
