THE STORY
What to know
Playing level
Reportedly around an 11–12 handicap
The most carefully attributable public figures are approximately 11.2 in 2025 and “around 12” in a 2026 interview. These appear to be reported figures, not a publicly verified current WHS handicap index.
His target
He wants to reach handicap 5
Alcaraz has publicly described getting to a 5 handicap as a personal golf goal. That suggests he sees himself as an improving golfer with ambitions well beyond occasional celebrity rounds.
Competition record
No verified major golf tournament results found
There is no reliable public record of Alcaraz competing in a notable open amateur event or celebrity tournament with a published leaderboard. His meaningful competition has mainly been informal matches against other elite athletes.
- Golf matches with Andy Murray
- Rounds with Roger Federer
- A round with Sergio García involving a requested 15-shot allowance
Recent activity
He has continued playing during tennis travel
Recent public activity includes a golf round with Roger Federer around the 2026 Australian Open and a Tennis Channel feature in March 2026 about his continuing effort to improve.
- Roger Federer round — reported around January 2026
- Tennis Channel golf feature — March 11, 2026
Playing style
Athletic, competitive, still developing
His tennis athleticism likely helps with coordination, speed, and hand-eye control, but public footage suggests a developing golf swing rather than polished tournament-level consistency. His own comments also acknowledge that established golfers such as Federer remain ahead of him.

HH take
Why this profile is worth exploring
