If Dwayne Johnson played golf: rated 84, best at nerve

Dwayne Johnson would be a golfer rated 84 in Legends Draft Golf, the parody game where famous people play golf. Best attribute: nerve (90). The course that suits Dwayne Johnson best is The Spring Major, which leans on putting and short game. A big hitter with big game composure. Nerve and driving lead his card, his short game is strong, and iron play is the weakness.

Dwayne Johnson as a golfer: scouting report

Dwayne Johnson played defensive tackle for the Miami Hurricanes and was part of their 1991 national championship team before he became a wrestling star and one of the biggest names in Hollywood. That athletic background shows up the moment he steps on the tee. Driving is one of the two best skills on his card, and he would be the player taking on every carry the course offers.

His nerve is the other strength, and it is the highest mark he has. Few people have performed in front of bigger live crowds than a WWE headliner, where every move happens in front of thousands of fans and a camera catches everything. A pressure putt is quiet by comparison. The surprise is his touch. His short game is a real strength and his putting is close behind, so this is not a one dimensional power player. His course IQ is solid as well, and a work ethic famous for early morning training sessions would show in a well grooved swing.

Iron play is the weak spot. The long approach shots are where he gives back what his driver earns, and that makes The National Open his worst major, where narrow fairways, thick rough and firm greens demand precise approach play. The Spring Major is his best fit. Wide fairways let him swing freely, and a big drive leaves him a short club into the par fives, where his touch can finish the job. Draft him early for power and nerve, then pair him with a pure iron player.
