Overview
- Bronny James posted a short Instagram video of his golf swing that went viral on social platforms in mid‑May, attracting widespread attention from fans and media.
- PGA Tour pro Michael Kim praised the clip as "a really solid swing," and players including JJ Spaun, Akshay Bhatia, Billy Horschel and Cameron Young offered specific coaching on shoulder position, knee flex, rotation and a tendency to slice.
- Commenters and outlets compared Bronny’s smoother, more rhythmic motion to his father LeBron James’s previously critiqued swing, creating a cross‑generational talking point.
- Reporting notes Bronny has played golf for less than a year and is using the sport as offseason recreation while he remains a Lakers guard who logged 42 games this season and averaged roughly 2.9 points and 1.2 assists per game.
- The episode continues a trend of Tour pros publicly evaluating celebrity swings and could lead to more public coaching, summer father‑son rounds, and ongoing social‑media coverage rather than any shift toward professional golf for Bronny.
