On July 29, Terence Crawford entered history books as the first man to become a two-division undisputed champion. For a man who has been active in the sport for the past fifteen years, he no longer needed to justify himself to those who questioned his legacy. However, time is running against him. He turned thirty-six last week. Hence, soon after the victory over Errol Spence Jr., he has been gunning for the next big match.

However, that doesn’t mean that Crawford has forgotten what it means to have fun. The Omaha-born Southpaw seems to have found a new love: golf. He shared clips of his adventures at the golf course early today with fans and followers. With Golf Hall of Famer Tiger Woods remaining out of the scene on account of health issues, on a lighter note, it seems like the sport has gained a new star who even changed his name to bring out the inner golfer in him, much to everyone’s amusement.

Terence Crawford exchanges gloves with clubs

The Nebraskan first displayed his Ping Hieoki luxury brand kit in Instagram stories. Fans can hear the world champion in the background: “You all see it? Call me Terence Woods, about to hit the 300-yard bar. They don’t believe in me. I believe in myself. Dope, let’s get it.” The moment he said to call him “Terence Woods,” everyone around him erupted into a big laughter.

The following clip shows him at the course. Crawford checks with one of the officials, “How…how far was it?” And pat came the reply, “306.” Happy with the job done, the Welterweight champion said, “I’m out here, and they said I couldn’t do it, so I had to prove him wrong. 306 baby, I’m like that. Call me Terrence Woods…Terrence Woods.” Once again, those who accompanied him let out a huge bellow of laughter.

The final clip shows him looking through a sizable collection of golf clubs that Tiger Woods and other famous players most likely used. He said, “You know I want my majors..here clubs, Tiger Woods ain’t here with me.” One of the persons drew his attention: “He (Tiger Woods) is over here.” From one of the racks came a gold-plated club with Tiger Woods, 1995 US Amateur Champion written on it.

Where else the ‘Bud’ can bloom?

For sure, Terence Crawford was having a gala of time. With regards to what will happen inside the ring, he reportedly made it clear that he would no longer be chasing Jermell Charlo after his defeat at the hands of Canelo Alvarez. As many fans might remember, he has also called out the Mexican champion. But, with so many options available, only time will tell whether the Super Middleweight champion will reciprocate. But otherwise, there have been questions about Crawford’s willingness to climb three divisions – whether the move would be prudent.
