Club pro Ken Weyand no doubt fulfilled a long-time ambition to tee it up at a professional Tour event when he stepped out onto the course at Dubai Creek Resort this week. And the 54-year-old may well have enjoyed a wonderful time doing so.
Weyand is the general manager at The Grove XXII club in Florida, the golf club that NBA legend Michael Jordan founded in 2019. The American received one of two sponsor's invites to the event - alongside former winning Team Europe Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn - and was able to take home a little more than 7,000 euros (nearly $8,000) as a bonus in the limited-field, no-cut tournament.
