Djokovic formed a team with former Welsh international footballer Gareth Bale, accompanied by Scotsman Colin Montgomerie, the former number two in the world golf rankings.
“Playing on this course and in this environment was truly a great honor. Thank you to the Ryder Cup for allowing me to experience something so unique in my life,” said Djokovic.
The Serb clearly had fun at the event. Even before the first tee shot, the world number one surprised everyone with his choice of clubs.
Instead of a golf club, Djokovic brought his tennis racket and tried to hit the golf ball with it.
Djokovic celebrates with CR7 cheers
The 24-time Grand Slam champion enjoyed the exuberant atmosphere of the fans and took every opportunity to interact with the spectators.
On the 16th hole, Djokovic hit a very good shot, which he celebrated with the famous Siuuu celebration from footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. The crowd honored the Serb’s tee shot with thunderous applause.
Also at the start at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, where the Ryder Cup will be taking place from Friday, were the Spanish Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz, former soccer star Andrij Shevchenko, the US actress Kathryn Newton and the former Super Bowl -Winner Victor Cruz.
