Golf’s wackiest, craziest, most unconventional swing is coming to Pebble Beach.
South Korea’s Ho-sung Choi, who hits a golf ball unlike Tiger Woods ever did, has landed a sponsor exemption to play in next month’s AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Tournament officials made the announcement Monday.
Choi’s unorthodox action — sometimes he practically hops out of his stance upon making contact with the ball, and other times he whips his right leg around like he’s dancing — has made him an Internet sensation in the past year. Several PGA Tour pros, including Justin Thomas, posted tweets about Choi’s curious swing upon seeing it last summer.
