Why Golf

After conquering the world of NFL, Victor Cruz has swapped the football field for the golf course, and he’s joining Why Golf to tell us all about it!
He explains how his daughter first introduced him to the sport and the enjoyment they get from playing together, plus shares his thoughts on how the culture of golf is changing.
Cruz also talks about how getting out and playing on the course is the closest rush he can get to walking out on Super Bowl Sunday and that discovering golf has saved the lives of many ex-athletes.
