【1399】 Golf craze
News of Xiao Feng training at the "Minghu Golf Course" was soon spread. Every day, tourists, fans and media reporters came to the stadium. Even if they could not have close contact with Xiao Feng, they could take pictures of Xiao Feng playing ball from afar, which is enough.
Today, Xiao Feng has further consolidated his status as the "world's richest man" and has a very high position among domestic fans and the public. His every move is noticeable.
At the end of last month, Xiao Feng won the championship at the Sydney HSBC Championship. His outstanding condition has made domestic fans and golf enthusiasts quite excited because he may become the first Chinese to win the championship in the American Celebrity Championship.
Before Xiao Feng, there were Chinese athletes participating in the four major professional golf slams, but they never achieved good results, which is a regret for fans.
Xiao Feng only had three games to participate in golf competitions. In addition to the "Pebble Beach Celebrity Competition" and the "HSBC Championship" that were the first-class championship prizes of US$1 million, Xiao Feng's debut was at the regional tour level.
Even so, Xiao Feng's outstanding performance has made Chinese golf fans believe that Xiao Feng will definitely win the championship in the "American Celebrity Tournament". This is a belief in Xiao Feng's invincible over the years!
Therefore, Xiao Feng’s training at the ‘Minghu Golf Course’ these days has naturally attracted the attention of fans and the media. Almost every photo of Xiao Feng hitting the ball is widely circulated on the Internet!
In the past forty years, many superstars have been born in China's literature, art, sports and entertainment circles. They even have a wide international reputation, such as Fa Ge, Liu Tianwang, Zhang Guoshi, Chen Long, Mo Yan, Li Yan Yao Da Ge and Liu Xiang, etc. They have even become China's business cards to a certain extent.
However, Xiao Feng is the first truly global idol. He not only has a wide influence in China, but also has hundreds of millions of die-hard fans around the world, becoming China's most famous superstar in the world.
According to survey reports by some media, in a survey conducted by 100,000 ordinary people around the world, when the term "Huaxia" is mentioned, more than 60% of the respondents' first reaction is "Xiao Feng". In a sense, Xiao Feng is the most eye-catching business card of the Chinese Empire.
…………
The influx of fans and media reporters did not affect Xiao Feng's training. He hit 18 holes every day and then went home. Every morning, the gorgeous sunshine of the "Ginkgo Village" can witness his sweat.
No one will disturb Xiao Feng's normal training. At most, he will interview one or two sentences at the end of his training. Lucky fans may also get the opportunity to take photos and sign autographs with Xiao Feng, which has made everyone extremely happy!
In fact, Xiao Feng has a very good reputation in the media and the public. In addition to his special status, what is more important is that Xiao Feng is approachable and down-to-earth.
In addition to daily training, Xiao Feng also has a very important task, which is to watch the video of the "American Celebrity Tournament" over the years. The purpose is to better understand and familiarize yourself with the terrain of the venue and the layout of the holes, so that you can achieve success.
This time, Xiao Feng participated in the "Themastetetent" (themastetetent) is one of the four major men's professional golf competitions in the world.
The American Celebrity Tournament is held in April every year (the first full week of April every year), and is the only major event held at the Augusta National Golf Course in America.
The first American Celebrity Championship started in 1934 and has a history of 66 years. During this period, only 1943-1945 was not held due to World War II. The remaining 63 sessions have been crowned.
In a sense, the American Celebrity Tournament represents the beginning of the annual season and also the debut of the four major competitions of the year, so it is highly valued by professional golf experts and the media.
Last year, the total prize money of the "American Celebrity Competition" reached an astonishing $12 million, and the champion could get $2 million, which is quite amazing in professional golf competitions. Of course, in addition to ranking bonuses, including one-hole hole, birdies, eagles and other exciting performances, there will be additional rewards of $10,000 to $20,000, which also gives players more motivation.
It is not so easy to qualify for the "American Celebrity Competition". After all, as a top event held in the United States, the parochialism of the event organizing committee is still quite strong. Considering more about the prize ranking of the PGA Tour and the results of the four major competitions in the previous year, the prize ranking of the European Tour is not counted at all, let alone the Asian Tour and the Australian Tour with lower levels.
Xiao Feng was able to receive an invitation from the event organizing committee because of his outstanding performance at the Pebble Beach Celebrity Competition at the end of last year and his celebrity aura. If it were someone else, he might not be able to succeed.
It has to be said that Xiao Feng's fame has given him many preferential treatments, which is reflected in many matters, and Xiao Feng has become accustomed to this kind of treatment.
Of course, as long as Xiao Feng achieves good results in the "American Celebrity Competition", he will have his place in the four major competitions in the future, so as to truly gain a foothold in the international professional golf world.
Therefore, Xiao Feng attaches great importance to the competition. His daily practice and watching the game video are an excellent proof!
Although Xiao Feng is usually lazy and takes care of his children all day long, accompanying the elderly to cook with them, and cooking in a family, once he becomes serious, his persistence still makes the people around him amazed.
In addition to various factors such as the right time, place and people, Xiao Feng’s personal abilities and personal charm also played an extremely important role in it!
…………
Xiao Feng is actively preparing for the "American Celebrity Tournament" in the "Ginkgo Village". His two teams have also started the season. Whether it is the Lakers' regular season, Newcastle United's league, and the Champions League knockout stage, they have entered the most critical stage.
After learning that the boss was going to participate in the "American Celebrity Tournament", these players were also inspired to have more enthusiasm and fighting spirit. After all, if the boss wins the championship in the Celebrity Tournament, his team's performance will be completely defeated, and everyone's face will not be very good!
For this reason, many stars expressed their support to their boss on Twitter, hoping that the boss can win, and encourage themselves to exert more energy in the next game and win more correctly and with greater victories!
For Xiao Feng and the fans of these players, it is quite interesting to watch their idol interact frequently on Twitter.
Moreover, in addition to the interaction between Xiao Feng and the players, there will be other celebrities entering the market at any time, which makes the self-media platform extremely lively and makes the melon-eating people watch it with relish.
Tiger Woods, who had had an intersection with Xiao Feng at the Pebble Beach Celebrity Competition last time, also welcomed Xiao Feng to participate in the American Celebrity Competition for the first time on Twitter, hoping that he could have a wonderful performance in the competition.
Now, 11 years have passed since the original "car accident gate". Whether it is the media or the fans, they have gradually forgotten what happened back then, and time has become Tiger Woods' best helper.
If it were other sports, the ten-year downturn would be destined to end the career, but golf is an elegant sport with a lifespan of up to 30 or 40 years. You can often see athletes over 60 years on the field, and everyone is used to it.
The growth of age and the extension of athletic career allow experienced contestants to often have more exciting performances in the competition. This is a sports that requires experience!
Generally speaking, the golden period of professional golfers' athletic career is usually between the ages of 30 and 50. Players of this age are at the peak of their lives, whether in terms of energy, physical strength or experience, and it is reasonable to achieve good results.
If the athlete is too young and has insufficient competition experience, he will often perform abnormally and cannot show his best level when encountering changing conditions. After he is over 50 years old, the athlete's physical strength, energy and concentration will inevitably decline, and he will eventually be unable to suppress those aggressive young people on the court!
A young genius like Tiger Woods is almost a hundred years old. This is why Woods was fanatically praised by the media, sponsors and fans in those years of his peak. After all, everyone has a "hero complex" in their minds!
Now, more than ten years have passed by the "car accident gate", Tiger Woods' competitive state has gradually recovered. He and the team behind him believe that it is the best time for him to rise again, so having a good relationship with Xiao Feng is also one of the very important contents.
Xiao Feng knows Tiger Woods more about him from the media. After all, when Woods was at its peak, Xiao Feng was still studying in school, and various reports about him can often be seen in sports news.
When the "car accident door" broke out, Xiao Feng was busy establishing the "Jinghu Group" and did not have much energy to pay attention to it and understand the specific content, so Xiao Feng would not criticize others.
Putting aside Tiger Woods' private life, his efforts in charity in the field of competitive are more worthy of recognition. After all, he is the first truly global golf superstar and has played a pivotal role in the global promotion of golf.
Therefore, Xiao Feng did not ignore Tiger Woods' show of kindness, but politely interacted with him on Twitter, hoping to communicate his football skills with him during the game...

The news that Xiao Feng will go to Augusta to participate in the "American Celebrity Competition" in the first week of April has become one of the most important news in the domestic sports and entertainment industry recently. In addition to the cheers of fans, many so-called "experts and scholars" have also jumped out, speculating that Xiao Feng may gain in the competition and talked happily.
At the same time, the golf boom has quietly set off in China. Many golf courses have discovered that during this period, there have been a lot of enthusiasts who have signed up to learn football. Some young people from a wealthy family have also joined this sports event called "elderly sports".
In the eyes of these young people, since idols have started playing golf, this means that the sport has its charm. As hardcore fans of Xiao Feng, as long as the idol supports them, they will definitely follow!
This is Xiao Feng’s huge appeal as an “universal idol”. His every move can drive the trend of young people. This has long been fully reflected in the performance of major companies endorsed by Xiao Feng!
Over the past 10 years, the main business performance has been quite exciting and has set new highs due to the hiring of Xiao Feng as the global image spokesperson, Audi Automobile, Versace, Earl Watch, Warwick Mobile, Huaxia Mobile and other multinational companies!
When Xiao Feng was in the NBA, he was the most popular sport for young people in China and even the world, basketball was the most popular. In addition to watching TV broadcasts every day, the court was always crowded. The teenagers sweated on the basketball court, which was their happiest youth.
Now, Xiao Feng's hardcore fans have another choice, that is, swing on the golf course to breathe fresh air, and the number of people who can participate in this sport has increased a lot. After all, those successful people in their thirties and forties cannot run on the basketball court like children, right? Going to the golf course to exercise can not only be closer to the behavior of their idols, but also exercise and cultivate sentiment. It can be said that they kill the numbers in one fell swoop!
Because Xiao Feng practiced at the "Jinghu Golf Course", this place has become the most popular golf holy place for many golf fans. More and more enthusiasts choose to come to the "Jinghu Scenic Area" for a trip and vacation, and play one or two games here.
Most high-ball enthusiasts are not short of money. After all, every exercise, including the cost of clubs, is not something that ordinary working-class people can afford. Therefore, a "just walk" trip is not too difficult for these high-ball enthusiasts.
In this way, the 'Minghu Golf Course' is overcrowded, with 500 training places every day in short supply. This alone can bring 500,000 rmb of income to the course. In addition to other services, the course began to reach a balance of revenue and break even from previous losses, and there was still a slight surplus.
Of course, the wealthy "Jinghu Group" is not short of money. It soon hired the best coaches, training teams, nutritionists and other talents from the United States to enrich the software strength of the stadium, allowing every trainer to obtain the most professional guidance on the stadium, and let every dollar they spend is worth the money!
In fact, this is also the corporate culture of Jinghu Group in history. The group’s products and services are worthy of consumers’ efforts!
