Gareth Bale will have some interesting company when he tees it up on the PGA Tour for the first time.
Bale is taking part in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California over the next three days, partnering American professional Joseph Bramlett in the £7.3 million event. And making up Bale’s fourball on Thursday, Friday and Saturday will be Yahoo! billionaire Jerry Yang and his pro, Swedish star David Lingmerth.
Yang, 54, founded Yahoo! in 1994, is worth around £3billion and is a keen golfer who has played in the prestigious Pebble Beach event several times. But 33-year-old Bale should have the edge on Yang on the course - the Welshman has a handicap of two while the Taiwanese-American plays off eight.
