The other great passion of Rafael Nadal, apart from tennis, has always been golf. The Spaniard, whenever tennis and his physical condition allowed it, would head to the golf courses, something he can now do more frequently. In fact, the 22-time Grand Slam champion has stated at an event that he has received tournament invitations. "I follow golf every week, and my wife suffers because of it. I watched Jon Rahm play this week in Riyadh; he had a spectacular final round and almost won. I enjoy following it in general. I have been tempted to play on occasion; several times they have wanted to give me an invitation, but the circumstances have not yet aligned. In the future, you never know, but I would have to feel that I am playing without making a fool of myself and with the enthusiasm of at least being able to compete, even if it's only against myself."
