If Jeff Bezos played golf: rated 87, best at putting

Jeff Bezos would be a golfer rated 87 in Legends Draft Golf, the parody game where famous people play golf. Best attribute: putting (92). The course that suits Jeff Bezos best is The Links Open, which leans on short game and course IQ. A methodical golfer whose putter does the damage. Putting and course IQ lead his card, and driving distance is the one real weakness.

Jeff Bezos as a golfer: scouting report

Jeff Bezos started Amazon in 1994 as an online bookstore run out of a garage near Seattle, and he grew it by planning several moves ahead of everyone else. That is how he would play golf. His course IQ is one of the two best marks on his card, so every round starts with a plan: where to miss, which pins to attack, which par fives to lay up on. He would carry the most detailed yardage book on the range.

The putter is his best club. A Princeton graduate in electrical engineering and computer science would read greens like a data problem, and his putting grade is the highest on his card. His iron play is nearly as good, which means he gives himself plenty of birdie looks, and his short game cleans up the rest. His nerve is strong too. Someone who flew to the edge of space aboard his own Blue Origin rocket in 2021 is not going to be rattled by a gallery on the eighteenth green.

Driving is the place he gives ground. He is not short, but he will rarely be the longest hitter in his group, and The Long Course Championship exposes that more than any other major. The Spring Major is his best fit. Fast, sloping greens and second shots into precise targets turn a great putter with sharp irons into a real threat to win. Draft him early as a scoring anchor, then add a big hitter later to cover the long weeks.
