Many of golf’s biggest stars are over in Asia this week, with the LPGA playing in Taiwan at the Sunrise Taiwan Championship, the PGA Tour at the CIMB Classic in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and the European Tour in Shanghai, China for the BMW Masters, the first even of their Final Series.
Prior to the BMW Masters in Shanghai, BMW held an amazing opening ceremony, featuring Rory McIlroy and a lazer show! But even before the opening ceremony, Rory took some time to host a golf clinic in Shanghai to inspire young Chinese golfers, including Ye Wo-Cheng and Sui Xiang. He was joined by former NBA player and CBA Champion, Yi Jianlian! Below is some more raw footage from the clinic!
NBA players and their interest in golf is well documented, from the golf contract between Mike Conley and Mike Miller, Michael Jordan and his custom golf cart and Yao Ming taking up the sport after retirement. Perhaps this up close and personal golf clinic will give some inspiration to the aspiring Chinese youth golfers to become future stars of international golf! Hear from Rory below about what he thinks of the talent in China! After the BMW Masters, Rory is scheduled to go head to head with Tiger Woods for the second year in a row in an 18 hole shoot out at the Blackstone Course at Mission Hills Resort in Haikou, the capital city of Hainan Island.
