Jayson Tatum is golfing at the FedEx St. Jude Championship Pro Am in Memphis

A familiar face is at the FedEx St. Jude Championship Pro-Am golf tournament in Memphis on Wednesday.

Celtics star Jayson Tatum is playing in the event, according to Mark Giannotto of The Commercial Appeal. Tatum’s group includes PGA golfer John Rahm.

According to The Athletic, Tatum picked up golfing as a hobby when the NBA shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic 2020.

Tatum’s stepfather, Jake Barnes, convinced the All-Star forward to take some swings during a trip with a golf instructor on a trip to Florida.
