The eight-hole matchplay event tees off at 6 p.m. ET as the drivers vie to prove who has the best golf game, although Albon has something of an advantage. The Thai speedster is dating professional golfer Lily Muni, although he told the “Beyond The Grid” podcast: “I think I have a full-time coach, which is my girlfriend, but I don’t listen to her because she’s my girlfriend.”
Gasly, meanwhile, has been getting expert tips from World No. 2 Rory McIlroy. The Northern Irishman was revealed as one of several new investors in the Alpine F1 team last month, and Gasly took the chance to get a couple of rounds in with the four-time major winner.
Norris, though, is confident in his partner. He said: “[Rickie is] A good guy. I watched all of the guys and Rickie is kind of a bit more back on form lately, compared to where he was at the beginning of the year and the last couple of years. I’m excited. It’s going to be the first live event for Netflix, which is a cool thing to be part of. Nice course and everything. And yeah, I don’t know, like how the whole event is going to work but I’m sure it’s going to be good, fun.”
