In the lush landscapes of Dubai, where the sands meet sprawling greens, Hollywood actress Kathryn Newton isn’t just stepping onto the red carpet but is teeing off with confidence. Known for her roles on screen, Newton has also carved a niche in the golfing world, showcasing her skills at the prestigious Hero Dubai Desert Classic. While she might not be officially competing, her presence alone stirs up excitement, hinting at what could have been if she had swung her clubs in the main event.
Kathryn’s Golf Antics in the Desert
“You’re lucky I’m not,” joked Kathryn during her Dubai visit, igniting a playful challenge to the pros participating in this week’s golf classic. Her statement was not just a flaunt of her golf prowess but a witty nod to her deep affection for the sport. This isn’t her first foray into golf; the actress has been seen playing at various Pro-Am events, including the 2024 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship where she teamed up with professional Alex Fitzpatrick.
The Hero Dubai Desert Classic, held at the Emirates Golf Club, found a lighthearted challenger in Newton who expressed her exhilaration for her first-time visit to Dubai, “I think that I’m overly excited because I keep kind of screaming at everything. I’m like, do you understand we’re in a video game right now? This is the future.” Her enthusiasm for the city’s futuristic appeal and its top-tier golf courses was palpable.
Celebrities in Sports: A Trend on the Rise
The intertwining of celebrities with sports isn’t new, but stars like Newton bring a fresh flair to the field. With her candid exuberance and genuine love for golf, Kathryn is bridging the gap between Hollywood glam and athletic grit. Her participation in events such as the Hero Dubai Desert Classic elevates the visibility of the sport and brings a diverse audience to the greens.
Newton’s Style: From Red Carpet to Green Courses
Not only does she play, but she also plays in style. Recently announced as the first golf lifestyle brand ambassador for J.Lindeberg, Newton donned their latest golf apparel in Dubai—a cream-colored short skirt paired with a full-sleeve T-shirt, capturing both elegance and readiness for the game. Speaking about her partnership with J.Lindeberg, Newton shared, “I’ve always loved J.Lindeberg—on and off the golf course. Their designs feel as powerful, meticulous, and dynamic as the game itself.”
A Sunrise to Remember
Among the highlights of her trip was the “most beautiful sunrise at tee off I’ve ever seen,” a moment she captured and shared with her followers on Instagram. It’s moments like these that encapsulate the serenity and beauty of golf, elements that Kathryn Newton cherishes deeply. Whether she’s under the spotlight of a camera or the early morning sun at a golf course, Newton embraces each with the same zest.
