Speaking to the reporters after the day’s play, Twellman was in a happy space and was praised the competitors at the tournament. “There’s a politeness to them. I’ve loved both, and I’ve had two different players with Mo and Celine. And so I just enjoy the way they go about it,” he said.

Furthermore, Twellman spoke about how he wanted his two daughters to be just as good and commendable as them. “I’ve got two lovely daughters. And if my daughters are acting the way Celine and Mo are the last two days, then I did a good job raising my daughters,” he said. The former soccer player is the father to two daughters, five-year-old Rose and two-year-old Lucy.

How did Taylor Twellman fare in the Tournament of Champions?

Over the course of the weekend, Twellman fared well amongst the celebrity list at the tournament. He finished tied for seventh place with a score of 90 in the modified Stableford scoring format. Interestingly, he was flanked by two former MLB stars in seventh place, John Smoltz and Mark Mulder.

But despite his commendable top-10 finish, Twellman urged he wasn’t playing for the top spots. “And as I told both of them, I’ll get out of your way because I’m not playing for anything. But it’s been a blast,” he said.

The former U.S. Soccer national played the majority of his career in his home country before making a switch to Europe. At the onset of the century, Twellman signed for 1860 Munich, a German club with a rich history.

However, the move never worked out for him, as Twellman resorted to playing for the reserve team. Two years later, he returned back to the USA, where he bagged a contract with the New England Revolution and imposed himself as one of the country’s top goalscorers during the period.
