Kyle Larson and William Byron traded fire suits for polos today, as they were spotted at the PGA Tour's Truist Championship. The event is yearly, held at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina. Given that seemingly half of the field of NASCAR drivers play golf regularly, the appearance is to be expected.
The duo of Hendrick Motorsports' NASCAR drivers is taking the greens today for the Truist Championship Pro-Am. They tee off at 12:33 PM, playing alongside Rickie Fowler and Ricky Castillo, numbered as Team No. 20.
Just about every PGA Tour event hosts a Pro-Am on Wednesday, the day before the tournament kicks off. It always features celebrities, online personalities, charity, business executives and managers, and PGA Tour teaching professionals, among others.
Ranging back to 2024, Byron played in the Pro-Am of the same event, then known as the Wells Fargo Championship. NASCAR drivers have commonly participated in the Wednesday event.
The Pro-Am is held primarily for sponsorship interactions and charitable efforts. If Larson and Byron win, they will get a trophy or plaque rather than any cash or tangible prize.
Kyle Larson is listed online as a member of Trump National Golf Club on Lake Norman, with a handicap rating of 11.2. That suggests that Larson regularly shoots in the 80's.
William Byron is listed as a member of both Myers Park Country Club and Charlotte Country Club. He seems to beat out Larson with a strong handicap rating of 6.9, meaning he often shoots in the high-70s/low-80s.
The other NASCAR golfers are viewable per the USGA GHIN golfer lookup. Here are the NASCAR drivers' handicap ratings and their golf clubs.
