When it comes to social media, a lot of our Golfers are a digitally-savvy set. The best and quickest way to interact with their fans, social media has infused itself in the lives of our professional Golfers like never before.

 

Unlike the star Golfers who shone in dreamy galaxies in times past, today’s Golf icons are instantaneously accessible to everyone. Not just that, they impact our lives profoundly with their hashtags splattered on our Twitter and Instagram feeds. 

 

We bring you an incredible list of the Golfers who are creating a buzz on social channels and making their way into the hearts of their increasingly obsessive fan base.

The face of British Golf in recent times, the Northern Irish Professional Golfer took up the game at the age of three.

Today, he’s creating waves on Twitter with a mind-blowing following of 3.18 M and the numbers are growing. Recently, McIlroy found himself in the middle of a social media storm, when former PGA Championship winner Steve Elkington, notoriously claimed McIlroy looked “bored” playing Golf.
