"Lee Westwood reveals that Alan Shearer was initially set to take on the role of caddy for him, but Westwood's spouse stepped in on both occasions instead, discussing Shearer's close brushes with being Westwood's caddy"

In the world of professional golf, Lee Westwood, a former world number 1, has shown a unique interest in football and the potential of footballers to excel in golf.

Sergio Garcia, a professional golfer from Spain, is not only known for his prowess on the green but also for his passion for football. Garcia was the president of his hometown team and even played football for them, demonstrating his versatility. According to Westwood, Garcia is the best footballer among golfers.

Westwood's football affinity extends beyond the fairways. He considers Alan Shearer, a former England striker and Newcastle United legend, as one of his contacts. Shearer, who is also a golf enthusiast, twice asked to caddy for Westwood at the Masters, but was denied both times. However, Westwood promised Shearer that he could caddy for him at the Masters in the following year.

Unfortunately, a storm prevented Shearer from fulfilling his role as caddy at the Masters the following year, as the Par 3 Contest was cancelled. On another occasion, Shearer's wife, Helen, caddied for Westwood at the Masters instead.

Westwood is a proud supporter of Nottingham Forest and Worksop Town, a local non-league side. He even suggested that if Real Madrid had faced Nottingham Forest in the Champions League, he and Garcia would have gone together.

Another unexpected golfing companion for Westwood could be Jimmy Bullard, a former footballer who shares his love for golf. Westwood perceives Bullard's golf game as good enough for the level of the Legends Tour. With hard work and focus, Bullard, according to Westwood, has the potential to compete on the Legends Tour.

Moreover, if given invites to tournaments and accustomed to playing under pressure, Bullard could potentially excel in golf, as suggested by Westwood. Westwood also considers other footballers as potential caddies, but the names remain undisclosed.

Westwood's unique approach to golf and his interest in footballers' potential in golf make him an intriguing figure in the world of sports. To keep up with Westwood and Team Majesticks GC, follow @majesticksgc on your favourite social media platform.
