Welshman Gareth Bale, retired from football, turns professional golfer
Former soccer player Gareth Bale on Instagram (the social network is banned in the Russian Federation; belongs to the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia and banned) announced the beginning of a career as a professional golfer.
“I’m happy to announce that I’ll be playing the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am early next month,” he wrote.
On January 9, Bale announced his retirement from professional football. “After a careful and thoughtful decision, I announce my immediate retirement from club and international football,” the 33-year-old Welshman wrote at the time. According to him, this decision was the most difficult in life.
Throughout his career, Bale played for the English side Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Real Madrid. Together with the Spanish team, he won the Champions League five times, the Spanish Championship three times, and the UEFA Super Cup. The Welshman’s last club was Major League Soccer (MLS) Los Angeles in the United States, where Bale moved in 2022.
