Sports and music intersections take place all over.
For example, golf nut Justin Timberlake, while on stage performing, took a practice swing for LIV Golf’s Sergio Garcia to review. Guess JT is working on his takeaway.
If you like country music, get ready for some Luke Combs on the U.S. Open TV coverage next week.
NBC has announced that Combs will serve up the intro for Saturday’s open to the broadcast ahead of round three and will have some vignettes sprinkled in the weekend coverage.
Combs is a big-time golfer and last week, when his concert tour was in Arizona, made time for a pit stop at Ping to test out some gear.

You could tell he was thrilled when he got access to the gold putter room at Ping.
Then, during his concert at State Farm Stadium where the Arizona Cardinals play, Jon Rahm joined him on stage for some beverages.
Helluva night at State Farm Stadium. @lukecombs, wearing an #AZCardinals hat, brings former ASU golfer Jon Rahm on stage to shotgun a beer. @12SportsAZ
