Harry Kane Leads Active Footballers in Golf Handicap Rankings
A look at active European footballers who play golf off single-figure handicaps places Harry Kane at the top with a 1.9 handicap. Kane, who plays at Beaverbrook and Queenwood, has improved steadily and has also shot one under par at The Grove. Three other England internationals are listed among the single-figure golfers, though the figures come from various reports and are not official.
Among current European footballers, four England internationals are identified as single-figure golfers. Kane sits first at 1.9, having begun golf at 16 and moved from four in 2019 to three in 2024 and early 2025. He belongs to Beaverbrook and Queenwood, favours Wentworth's West Course, and has carded one under par at The Grove.
Behind him, Maguire is estimated near six, with no known club membership; he appeared in a LIV Golf Pro-Am in Andalucía and requested a simulator at England's Euro 2024 camp. Maddison is roughly 9.5 and hosts a charity pro-am at Centurion Club, which raised £75,000 for Noah's Ark Children's Hospice in 2024.
This ranking may draw more attention to golf among football fans, potentially boosting interest in pro-ams, charity events, and simulator facilities. It could also reinforce golf’s exclusive image, since several named clubs are private and elite. Fans, amateur golfers, and charities linked to player-hosted events may feel the effects, while clubs could see greater visibility.
