David Beckham as a golfer: scouting report

David Beckham made a career out of curling a football around walls of defenders, and a golfer who can bend the ball on command is a dangerous thing. Picture him hooking a long iron around a tree and onto the green, or fading a wedge into a tucked pin. His nerve is the top of his card. The man who curled in a free kick in stoppage time against Greece in 2001 to send England to the World Cup would not blink over a putt to win.

His putting is next, and it fits his game perfectly. The same eye that judged exactly how much a free kick would swerve would read a breaking putt with ease. His short game and course IQ are both strong, and his iron play is good, which leaves him with a very even card. He was part of the Manchester United side that won the treble in 1999, and he understood how to play a role inside a great team, a useful quality in a format that rewards a balanced roster.

Driving is where he gives up ground. He is not one of the long hitters, so The Long Course Championship, with its demanding carries, is his worst fit. The Links Open is his best. Wind and firm turf are where ball shaping really pays, and he grew up playing on English pitches in every kind of weather. Draft him early as a reliable scorer with real big moment pedigree, then add a power hitter later to balance the roster.
