NBA icon LeBron James and actor/comedian Kevin Hart are planning a massive YouTube golf showdown, and negotiations for this epic collaboration are super close to the finish line. We’re talking two of the biggest names in their fields, teaming up to bring some serious juice to the golf world.
The King and the Comedian Are Ready to Tee Up
LeBron and Hart are both already making waves with their individual golf content on YouTube. The King himself kicked off his channel over the summer, dropping a vlog of his golf trip with some of the championship-winning 2016 Cleveland Cavaliers squad. That first video? It hit almost 3 million views, and his channel is already sitting pretty with over 600,000 subscribers. He’s even posted two more long-form videos showing off his golf battles since then. Not to be outdone, Hart just started his own channel last month. His first video alone snagged 2.5 million views, and he’s already racked up more than 80,000 subscribers. This isn’t just a casual thing; they’re putting in work!
Why Golf Is the New Battleground
So, why golf? LeBron got into the sport a few years back, and it quickly became one of his favorite ways to spend time. Before he even jumped into the YouTube game, his social media was loaded with photos and videos of him out on the course. He even said last September, “It’s hard as s–t. … I wanted a challenge, man, and I like being uncomfortable. Golf is like one of the few places where I can go where I don’t get bothered as much.” Hart is also fairly new to the game, but his YouTube videos show he’s definitely making progress. Golf has historically been a tough sport to get into, but these YouTubers are totally changing the game, inspiring new generations by playing it in a way that breaks from the old standard. This showdown between LeBron and Hart, arguably the two biggest names to dive into YouTube golf, is absolutely going to pull in a huge audience.
When are they teeing up? That’s still up in the air. Hart mentioned, “We want people to tune in and watch. But right now we said let’s give ourselves a certain bandwidth of space to get better.” So, they’re leveling up their game before they hit the links for what promises to be one of the most-watched golf matches ever.
