Former Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale recently appeared in an entertaining challenge. Daily Star shared an intriguing video where the Welshman, alongside golf star Rory McIlroy, attempts to knock down flying drones using a golf ball.
Bale came close to hitting his target but ultimately missed. However, McIlroy succeeded in landing a perfect shot. After McIlroy's hit, the drone spiraled down to the golf course's grass.
Bale was impressed by his friend's skill and celebrated the successful shot with McIlroy. He then humorously conceded defeat, saying, "Let's go home, it's a wrap."
Bale is renowned for his stellar football career, during which he won 5 Champions League titles with Real Madrid. The Welshman was purchased by Real Madrid in 2013 for a then-record fee of €100 million.
He retired from football in January 2023 and has since focused more on golf than soccer. Just a month later, in February 2023, he made his professional golf debut at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Bale also appeared in the golf simulation game PGA Tour 2K23.
