Known for his love of golf, Spanish tennis legend Rafael Nadal will be featured in a charity golf tournament hosted by compatriot and retired basket ball, Pau Gasol, as they aim to tackle childhood obesity.
The former World No.1 retired from the ATP Tour in 2024 following a lengthy battle with injuries. The 22-time Grand Slam champion played his last match at the Davis Cup finals in Malaga, surrounded by family and friends as everyone bid the tennis superstar farewell.
Nadal to compete alongside other sports celebrities
The Gasol Foundation Golf Invitational, a charity golf tournament organized by former Los Angeles Lakers forward Pau Gasol, will take place from June 19–22 in San Roque and La Línea de la Concepción (Cádiz). The event will bring top athletes together to raise funds for the prevention of childhood obesity, which has been a mission for the Gasol Foundation.
Some notable participants include Nadal, Rudy Fernández, Álvaro Morata, and Bernd Schuster. The event will be played in a team format across the stunning La Hacienda Links Golf Resort.
"The event is born from our commitment to promote healthy living and prevent childhood obesity," said Gasol, who co-founded the Gasol Foundation with his brother Marc in 2014. "It’s an opportunity to raise funds, generate awareness, and enjoy golf in a spectacular setting."

- Would be great of we get a 3rd player from that level

mandoist14-06-2025 - BBC sports coverage blows anyway. Two most obvious reasons = They can't seem to shut their mouths often enough -- and they will bounce from one event to another at will. Not to mention show 90% of a sporting event and cut it short to go to regularly schedule programs! In short, BBC sucks.mandoist14-06-2025
- Jimmy, how much more pause are you talking about? By the time the match ends to the time they stage is erected and they mount it to accept the award is about 10 minutes. All players are not at the same maturity level. Culture and one's upbringing has a LOT to do with how players each respond to a loss. Some players just need to learn how to exercise self-control. It isn't everything that you want to say that you should say.Rapunzel11-06-2025

- Iga is our family's favorite person and player (along with Jasmine P) but Iga is wrong here. According to the WTA 2025 Rule Book she indeed took too long, longer than the occasional Ump's unilateral leniency to allow more time. She surpassed any exception I've seen on clay without Hawkeye. If that's not enough for her or anyone, here's a fact: Try to pressure Kader Nouni, an amazing individual and the WTA #1 male chair ump, and you will lose every time!mandoist06-06-2025
- In defense of Sabalenka, she is very succinct and analytic when it comes to tennis. Her tennis IQ is admirable. However she's not exactly a Harvard or Oxford graduate when she speaks away from tennis. Might be best to keep interviews short. It's no longer "cute" to seem naive and/or not so bright. As for the lengthy screaming and very late loud vocal tricks, it may have started as a distraction tool. But at this stage it seems more of a Bad Habit Gone Wrong. Not unlike allowing a child to pick their nose as they please, only to eventually be an 18 year-old not just picking their nose... but eating it, too. The extended screaming nonsense is annoying (intended as so?) and unnecessary. Saba's level of noises are not the "physical release" described by coaches and players. It's actually approaching a level of unfairness.mandoist05-06-2025
