THE STORY

What to know

Playing level

Reported handicap: 9.0

Sporting News reported Allen carried a 9.0 handicap for the 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. That places him roughly in the competent recreational-to-serious-amateur range: capable of strong holes and occasional impressive shots, but not consistently competitive with elite amateurs.

Best-supported public handicap figure found; not a current verified GHIN index.

Competition

Pebble Beach is his strongest résumé item

Allen played the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in 2022 and returned in 2023 and 2024. In 2024, PGA TOUR coverage highlighted a team result with professional partner Keith Mitchell and described Allen’s satisfaction at beating Tom Brady’s side.

  • 2022 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am appearance
  • 2023 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am appearance with Keith Mitchell
  • 2024 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am appearance with Keith Mitchell

Celebrity pro-am results are team-based and should not be compared directly with PGA TOUR individual scores.

Recent activity

Still working on the swing

The most recent public golf activity located was a July 3, 2026 video showing Allen working on his swing during the offseason. That supports the picture of a genuinely golf-focused athlete, although it does not establish a new handicap or tournament result.

Recent activity verified publicly; current handicap remains unconfirmed.

Game profile

Athletic, powerful and still developing

Allen’s football background gives him plenty of speed and athleticism, and video coverage shows a naturally powerful motion. The more useful question is control: a 9-handicap profile suggests his consistency, scoring and short-game execution matter more than raw ball speed.

Think talented athlete with a real golf habit—not a hidden tour player.

Verified videos

Good places to watch him play

These are verified videos from the PGA TOUR or an identifiable sports channel, rather than anonymous reposts.

  • PGA TOUR: Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen plays a practice round at AT&T Pebble Beach
  • PGA TOUR: Breaking down NFL MVP Josh Allen’s golf swing
  • Blitz Sports Media: Josh Allen grinding on his golf swing in different ways this offseason

The Pebble Beach practice-round video is the best all-around look at his course presence; the swing-analysis video is best for mechanics.

HH take

Why this profile is worth exploring

Call him a legitimate single-digit-ish celebrity golfer, with the important caveat that the 9.0 figure is historical and reported—not a current official handicap.
