The Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions was recently underway in Orlando, Florida. And while the professionals are still in play, the pro-am was just as exciting. Moreover, teeing it up, there was none other than actor and avid golfer Brian Baumgartner.

Baumgartner is an American actor, director, and author. He is most famed for his role as Kevin Malone in the NBC sitcom, ‘The Office’. Other than this, he is an accomplished golfer and even features on Golf Digest’s list of Hollywood’s top 100 golfers.

However, talking about how Michael Jordan aims to play 36 holes a day, he added that it doesn’t bother him to play only 18. He said, “That’s not me. I love it, but I still have a job to do.” And even though he thinks golf is a ‘magical’ thing, here is what he thinks about playing in a tournament. “Playing in front of people with a little bit of pressure, it will be interesting.
