Cristiano Ronaldo as a golfer: scouting report

Cristiano Ronaldo has built a career on wanting the ball when everything is on the line, and in golf that player is the one standing over the putt to win on Sunday. He has won the Ballon d'Or five times and became the top scorer in the history of men's international football, and that same hunger shows up as the best rating on his golf card. His nerve is elite. A man who scored the deciding penalty in the 2016 Champions League final would treat a downhill five footer as routine.

His famous free kicks, with that knuckling flight that dips at the last moment, translate into a short game full of tricks. He can flight a pitch low, spin it hard or run it up a slope, and his short game is the second best part of his card. Off the tee he is long as well. Years of explosive training and that famous leap give him real power, so he can take on carries that most of this draft cannot. His putting and course IQ are both strong, which leaves very few holes in his game.

If there is a soft spot, it is the iron play, and even that is a strength by most standards. It simply trails the rest of a very complete card. The Links Open is his best fit, where wind and firm turf reward a player who can change ball flight and keep his head. The Long Course Championship is his weakest major on paper, though his length keeps him competitive there too. He is a first round golfer. Take him early and build the rest of your roster around him.
