WATCH: FIFA Fever Forces Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Others to Sideline Golf and Polish Their Soccer Skills

Golfers cannot escape the soccer season. The current number one golfer, Rory McIlroy, tried his hand at soccer, but it was not what you think it was. If you thought that only soccer fans were waiting for the world cup, then you were wrong. Even our favorite golfers have got some skills to flaunt. The official Twitter handle of the DP World Tour shared a video of pro golfers trying their luck at the first touch.

They shared a video dedicated to the FIFA world cup season and captioned it, “Golfers, how’s your first touch?” Golf has always celebrated every other sport in a friendly way, and the video is another epitome of the diversity of the sport.

Did Rory McIlroy and other golfers play soccer well?

The CJ cup winner McIlroy seemed interested and showcased some minor soccer skills. He kept kicking, yet rolling the soccer ball on his foot. It was incredible to watch him present those skills. With a backpack on his back, he could play tricks, which proves how great of an athlete he is.

However, the video started with the Memorial tournament winner, Jon Rahm. He was number one in World Amateur Golf Ranking, proving his golf skills in the amateur state were great. And his soccer skills seemed great too. Rahm successfully showcased his soccer skills while holding a drink in his hand. And unsurprisingly, he played well. Those few seconds were enough to tell that he has what it takes to be a soccer player.

They threw a ball toward golfers to see their skills while entering the DP World Tour Championship gate. However, the most unbelievable and hilarious soccer skill revelation was for Tyrrell Hatton. The six-time European tour winner was not stoked about it. He kept walking with no enthusiasm or attempt to hit the ball. While the ball went sideways from him, he laughed, looked into the camera, and went back to get it. 

However, the English golfer, Matt Fitzpatrick, kicked the ball only once, which was a powerful kick. He kicked it in the direction of the person recording the video, and even if the kick looked effortless, it was a strong one. The Irish golfer, Shane Lowry, also tried his hand, or I must say ‘foot’ on the soccer ball. He enjoyed it, but kicked it farther away and ended his skill showcase with a gasp.
