Horan gets our Arnie Award and helps guide the game’s talent.
Nerd isn’t a term normally associated with pop sensation Niall Horan, except perhaps when it comes to golf. One of the music industry’s biggest stars—the first artist to debut at No. 1 on Billboard’s Social 50 Chart with his single “This Town” late last year—the 23-year-old Irishman is crazy about the game. “Now that we’ve taken a break as a band,” he says of his mates with One Direction, “I’m an absolute golf geek.”
Though Horan’s first love is music, his passion for all sports, especially golf, runs deep. “It was around the time of Tiger’s domination, and I loved staying up late to watch,” he said. “The Masters is the one I remember most, especially that Tiger chipin in 2005.”
It was around that time Horan joined the local golf club in his hometown, Mullingar, with a few friends. He was hooked from the beginning. So much so that when touring years later, he would often sneak away for a round with bandmate Harry Styles.

What's Next For Carson Palmer?
Carson Palmer is an old football player in the prime of his golf life. The 2002 Heisman Trophy winner, now 37, recently took a month to decide if his body could survive another NFL season at quarterback. The answer, to the relief of Arizona Cardinals fans, was yes, and so Palmer’s dream of playing golf every day will wait a little longer. “Some guys wonder if they’ll get bored with golf in retirement, but I don’t envision ever having that problem,” says Palmer, who is “always up for 36 in a heartbeat” when being a dad to two young kids allows it.
