Brooklyn Beckham's Golf Showdown: Celebrity Ryder Cup Rivals with Zeta-Jones & Eli Manning!
Golf, Glitz, and Gossip: The 2023 Ryder Cup Celebrity Match Heats Up!
In a thrilling prelude to the highly-anticipated biennial golf showpiece, the Ryder Cup, a star-studded lineup of celebrities has taken to the hallowed grounds of Bethpage Black in New York. Among them is none other than Brooklyn Beckham, the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, who's made headlines for all the wrong reasons lately.
As we previously reported on TheScholarlyNote.com, Brooklyn has been at odds with his parents for quite some time now, and it seems like things are only getting worse. Despite his estrangement from them, he couldn't resist the opportunity to show off his golfing skills alongside fellow celebrities in this year's Celebrity Match.
The 26-year-old model, who lives in Los Angeles, has been MIA from his family's milestones for quite some time now. Last week, when his brother Romeo celebrated his 23rd birthday, Brooklyn chose to ignore the occasion altogether – a snub that didn't go unnoticed by fans of the Beckham family.
It's clear that Brooklyn is trying to distance himself from his famous family, and it seems like he's succeeding – at least in terms of attendance. His parents, David and Victoria, are said to be "devastated" by their son's actions, but they're not alone in feeling this way. Other celebrities on the course have reportedly been discussing Brooklyn's awkward behavior, with some even going so far as to call him "unprofessional."
But enough about the drama – let's talk about the golf! This year's Celebrity Match features an impressive lineup of stars from the worlds of sports and entertainment. We've got American singer Miranda Lambert teaming up with ex-New York Giants star Michael Strahan against actress Catherine Zeta-Jones and former Spanish basketball player Pau Gasol.
Meanwhile, country music artist Kane Brown has partnered with fellow singer Noah Kahan in a clash with English actors Tom Felton and Oliver Phelps, while tennis icon John McEnroe and celebrity chef Bobby Flay are up against NHL great Teemu Selanne and Spanish chef Jose Andres. And let's not forget about Brooklyn – he's teaming up with former NBA player Toni Kukoc to take on comedian Colin Jost and legendary NFL quarterback Eli Manning.
The format of the competition is a two-person Scramble, where each match will play across 11 holes, with 11 total points available. Each hole is worth one point for the team with the lowest score, but if it's tied, each team takes half a point. The team with the most overall points wins – simple enough, right?
But as we all know, nothing is ever that easy at the Ryder Cup. Security has been heightened to unprecedented levels this year, thanks in part to a reported "incident" involving range finders and none other than American President Donald Trump last year.
As a result, fans are barred from bringing these common golf gadgets onto the course on Friday – a decision that's left many scratching their heads. But that's not all – laptops, tablets, portable folding chairs, torch-style lighters, and large vaping devices have also been banned from the first tee grandstand or clubhouse area.
And if you're planning on attending, be prepared for some serious security checks. The Ryder Cup organizers have confirmed "enhanced security measures" will be in place, including airport-style screening. Gates will now open at 5 am to avoid any potential chaos – a nod to the recent US Open men's singles final, which was marred by delays and disruptions.
So, who's ready for some golfing action? With this star-studded lineup and all the drama that comes with it, we can't wait to see what unfolds on the course. Will Brooklyn's estrangement from his family affect his game? Will any of these celebrities prove themselves as golfing naturals? And will Donald Trump even make an appearance?
