Which NASCAR driver is the founder of Golf Guys Tour? Exploring the founders, previous winners, and more

The NASCAR community is not unfamiliar with the thrill of competition. Yet, there's a lesser-known realm where the rubber meets the green – the Golf Guys Tour, a fusion of NASCAR and golf that brings together the most frustrated amateurs on tour for a unique blend of competition and leisure.

Led by Cup Series driver Denny Hamlin, who also holds three Daytona 500 championships, the Golf Guys Tour has become a cherished escape for those within the motorsports universe.

Originating from the minds of Hamlin and fellow driver Ricky Stenhouse, the Golf Guys Tour is a playground for drivers, team members, and other personalities who share a passion for golf. Not confined to casual rounds, this tour mirrors the PGA Tour and NASCAR by introducing season-long points standings.

While Denny Hamlin is undoubtedly a powerhouse on the racetrack, his influence extends far beyond the asphalt. His affinity for golf is not merely superficial – he boasts a commendable handicap of 3.5, signifying his genuine prowess on the course.

Shedding light on the profound role that golf plays in his life beyond the racetrack, Hamlin shared with NASCAR.com:

“Golf has always been a great way for me to decompress and get away from the work aspect of racing and being a race-car driver just for a few hours.”
