Fans convinced Carlos Alcaraz could turn pro in another sport after video goes viral

Fans have been left convinced that Carlos Alcaraz could turn professional in a second sport after impressive footage was posted online.

Alcaraz, who is currently world number one in the ATP Tour rankings, won the 2026 Australian Open last month to secure his seventh major title.

He has now won at least one major in each of the last five seasons, with the 22-year-old now looking ahead to defending his French Open crown at Roland Garros in June.

During a break between tournaments, Alcaraz was recently spotted in the Formula 1 paddock during testing at the Bahrain International Circuit, and was pictured with compatriot drivers Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz.

He's also a keen football fan and supports 15-time Champions League winners Real Madrid.

But when it comes to playing a sport, Alcaraz is also more than adept at golf.

The Spaniard recently appeared as a guest on two-time PGA Tour major winner Bryson DeChambeau's YouTube channel, with the pair attempting to break a score of 50 at the La Gorce Country Club in Miami Beach, Florida.

Alcaraz found the fairway with both of his opening drives, and narrowly missed a putt from around 50 yards for eagle on the second hole.

DeChambeau repeatedly called the Spaniard's drives 'awesome', and the video ended with the pair hitting a 17-under-par score of 54 across 18 holes.

After watching the video, fans suggested that Alcaraz had the natural golf ability to play in a professional tournament if he put the practice in.

One wrote: "Carlos has both power and accurate hands, he will also do very well if he plays professional golf."

A second said: "What a superb golfer Carlos is, supremely talented, his ball striking is pro class."

While a third claimed: "Carlos has one of the best swings I've seen - especially for a novice."

And a fourth joked: "If I didn't ever watch golf I would think Carlos is the pro golfer and Bryson was the guest on his channel."

Alcaraz told DeChambeau that there isn't a significant difference in difficulty between playing golf and tennis at the highest level.

"I always say that I think it's easier to learn how to play tennis than golf to a level that you can enjoy," he said.

"But as a professional, I think it's more difficult to get in the top 100 in the world in tennis."

He has also played in a number of pro-am tournaments, having teamed up with fellow Spaniard Jon Rahm for a nine-hole event in Madrid in October.

2017 Masters champion Sergio Garcia, who has mentored Alcaraz, says that the seven-time major winner has 'good potential' in golf.

"He's only been playing for a few years, but he's good at it, he's fast," Garcia told CLAY in September. "He really enjoys it, which is important.

"He can achieve a fairly low handicap and enjoy himself a lot.

"Carlos needs to be happy, relaxed, energised, to feel free. Golf helps him achieve that, it helps him disconnect."
