A host of famous golfing faces attended the world-famous Wimbledon tennis championships last week ahead of what is a busy upcoming period in their own sport.
The Scottish Open, the Evian Championship, the Open Championship, and the AIG Women’s Open Championship are all taking place over the coming days and weeks, with the many of the best players hoping to fulfil their own Major ambitions.
But before attention switched back to swinging a club, several stars of golf were on Centre Court to hear the ‘whoosh’ and ‘thwack’ of tennis racket on ball at one of the most iconic sporting venues anywhere on the planet.
Justin Rose and his wife Kate were in the Royal Box on day three of Wimbledon to watch Daniil Medvedev defeat Alexandre Muller, Emma Navarro see off Naomi Osaka, and Jannik Sinner edge past Matteo Berrettini in a thrilling battle of two Italian powerhouses.
Rose’s day out came a day after he had played 36 holes and made it through to the Open at Royal Troon via final qualifying. On X, the Englishman said: “One of my favourite days of the year @Wimbledon. My body is still recovering from those 36 holes yesterday!! Thank you again for all the support.”

One man who did not require qualifying to book his tee time at Royal Troon was Rose’s Ryder Cup teammate, Ludvig Aberg. The World No.4 was on Centre Court with his girlfriend Olivia – who played college tennis at Texas Tech between 2018 and 2023 – on Sunday to watch defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz win in four sets against Ugo Humbert of France and Great Britain’s Emma Radacanu lose to New Zealand’s Lulu Sun.
As with any golfer who sees a stretch of perfectly-manicured grass, Aberg admitted he was desperate to hit some kind of shot with a golf club. In his own Instagram post, Aberg said: “Me and @olivia_jorgipeet at @wimbledon. Kinda wanted to hit a full 60 off the grass court. Thank you @rolex!”
Aberg was in attendance at Wimbledon on a day where several high-profile names from across a variety of sports were inside the Royal Box on Centre Court.
