Gareth Bale: How much does golf-crazy Real Madrid star earn compared to Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and co?
Gareth Bale could become one of the world’s highest paid golfers.Well, not really, but if he does want to see out the remainder of his Real Madrid contract on the golf course – it would become a pretty lucrative hobby.Speculation around his future has gone into overdrive after Zinedine Zidane left him on the bench for Madrid’s 2-0 defeat at home to Real Betis on Sunday.GETTY8

Gareth Bale’s future at Real Madrid looks increasingly bleak

After the game, Zidane told reporters: Im sorry he didnt get to play, but no one knows what will happen.If I think a player doesnt fit in the team, I have to do what I think works best.No one can change what Bale has done for the team, but as a coach I have to live in the present.The Welshman refused to say goodbye to the Bernabeu crowd – and perhaps that’s because he’s refusing to go. Bale, whose contract runs for another three years, is paid more than 13million a year.It is understood Zidane has told Bale to leave Madrid this summer, but the 29-year-old has reportedly told team-mates he would happily sit on the sidelines and play golf until his contract expires in June 2022.In fact, Thibaut Courtois has previously said the Madrid players refer to Bale as ‘The Golfer’ – because he goes to bed early and spends the majority of his time on the course.GETTY8
