Serena Williams is all set to show off her golf skills in a new Super Bowl commercial with Brian Cox. However, the American tennis legend is not new to the sport. And has a history that goes back to the time when she was young and was coached by her own father, King Richard. Not only that, but she also believes that she can give golf a try.

In the new Michelob ULTRA commercial, the tennis star goes head to head with the Emmy award winner on the Golf Course and they together take their fans back to the 1980 classic ‘Caddyshack.’ For the third consecutive year, the brand has retrieved the former world number one to star in the famous commercial. 

Serena Williams vows to try a new sport

Recently, in a conversation with USA Today, the tennis star talks about a new sport that she is quite enjoying nowadays. The 23-time Grand Slam winner discusses how she used to play golf when she was younger but found interest in the sport again after filming the commercial.

She said, “My dad did have myself and my sister (Venus) play golf when we were younger. We used to go to the driving range, (but) I never really got the golf bug until after this commercial.”

The 41-year-old tennis star also admitted that she can play a little golf and shared how, even after being a tennis player, she can play a pretty good game. She said, “I would love to play a little more golf, honestly for the photo opportunities. I had a pretty decent drive because I’m a tennis player.”

The tennis star didn’t know it was against the rules to take photos of golfers when she attended the competition. The former world number one pulled out her phone during his tee shot on the 17th and tried to take a photo of the celebrity. She made no significant response when the security guard informed her. But afterward had a good-natured laugh about the incident.
