Dwyane Wadegot some golf tips from one of the pros at Wednesday’s Utah Jazz game.
The former NBA star, 39 — who is part-owner of the Jazz — was seen sitting courtside next to PGA Tour pro Tony Finau, where the golfer was spotted seemingly giving Wade some advice on how to perfect his swing.
“Love to see it … Lesson: Always be in learning mode,” Smith wrote, tagging Wade, Finau and the PGA Tour Twitter account.

“And so it’s just a smooth follow-through, right? Yeah it’s easy, it’s easy,” one commentator adds, while another jokes, “That’s a free lesson right there.”
WaderetweetedSmith’s post, telling his followers he seized the opportunity to learn from one of golf’s greats.
Finau chimed in too, alsoretweetingSmith’s video and adding, “Pleasure spending time with the legend @DwyaneWade what a gem of a guy. My man @RyanQualtrics keeps the coolest company.”
Wade retired from the NBA in 2018, and while he’s since stepped off the court, he’s been spending plenty of time on the course. Wade has picked up golf in recent years, playing withTiger Woodsin theGolf Digestseries just before Woods, 45, was injured in a serious car accident in February.
Shortly after Woods' accident, Wadesaidhe was first inspired to try out golf because of the legendary athlete.
“I picked up the golf club, like many in the Black community, because of Tiger Woods,” Wade toldInside the NBAat the time. “I got that opportunity yesterday to get out there and he taught me a few things — hopefully, it translates — but to be out there with the G.O.A.T., in my eyes, in that sport, and to talk to him about [his two children] and his father, it was a great day.”
