Diego Maradona as a golfer: scouting report
Diego Maradona captained Argentina to the 1986 World Cup, and in the quarterfinal against England he weaved through the defense from his own half to score the goal later voted the Goal of the Century in a FIFA poll. A golfer with that kind of close control would be frightening around the greens. His nerve is the best part of his card. The bigger the occasion, the better he played, and a final round at a major would be his natural stage.
His short game is the next strength, and it is pure Maradona. Quick feet, perfect balance and a touch on the ball that seemed almost magnetic translate into chips that roll out exactly as planned and bunker shots that pop up soft. His putting is nearly as good, and his course IQ is high. He led Napoli to the first league titles in the club's history, and he would bring that same belief that the impossible is only one good shot away.
Driving is the soft spot. He is not one of the long hitters, and The Long Course Championship, which rewards length above everything, is his worst major. The Links Open is his best, a week built on imagination, improvisation and nerve in the wind, where a player who can invent shots on the spot has a real advantage. Draft him early. His irons are solid, his scoring skills are elite and his nerve is close to the top of the whole game, so pair him with a long hitter and let him create.
