Life of a pro golfer is no laughing matter, ask Robin Williams

|May 15, 2025
THE late Robin Williams delivered an excellent set on the comedic absurdities of golf in his Grammy award-winning one-man show back in 2002.
It had the Broadway audience in stitches, and has since garnered over seven million views on YouTube.
Even golfers appreciated Williams’ spoof of their beloved game, with current Masters champion Rory McIlroy and South African legend Gary Player among those who sent heartfelt condolences upon Williams’ death in 2014.
This past week, I watched another Robin Williams closely at the Turkish Airlines Open — but this was no laughing matter.
Here was a young man, just 23-years old, playing for his livelihood among some of golf’s biggest names at the Regnum Carya Golf Club.
The former Fortress Rookie of the Year on the Sunshine Tour in 2023 was coming off a hectic stretch, having played 44 tournaments last year — the most of any professional golfer on the circuit.
