Rafael Nadal Competes in First Golf Tournament After Retiring from Tennis
Just days after retiring from professional tennis, Rafael Nadal has already embarked on his next competitive journey—this time on the golf course. The 22-time Grand Slam champion played his first golf tournament as a former tennis player at the Q-Romia Hexagonal Circuit in Mallorca.
Nadal, who officially ended his illustrious tennis career at the 2024 Davis Cup in Malaga last Tuesday, showed he remains a fierce competitor. Competing in the Handicap category, he finished in a respectable eighth place with a score of 76 strokes, as reported by Ultima Hora de Mallorca.
