The 12-time PGA Tour winner is known to be an ardent supporter of McLaren F1 and especially, Lando Norris. Last month, Justin Rose enjoyed watching the high-voltage Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort from the front row. Before the event started, the golfer shared a post on his X account and revealed that he was rooting for Norris to win the race.

The golfer praised McLaren F1 for honoring some of their long-time employees by showcasing their names on both Piastri and Norris' F1 cars.


Justin Rose won against Lando Norris in a 2024 golf outing

Last year, Ian Poulter and Rose had the experience to play golf with McLaren CEO Zak Brown and McLaren F1 icon Lando Norris. In the friendly 18-hole match-play, Brown teamed up with Rose and competed against the duo of Poulter and Norris. Rose and the LIV golfer both ended up shooting 64 in that contest.

However, the McLaren CEO scored slightly better that Lando Norris. This led Brown and Justin Rose winning the team game against Poulter and Norris. Zak Brown also shared the result of that golf outing on his X account:

"Had them all covered on this hole Team Brown/Rosie won the team game vs Poults/Lando but Justin Rose and Ian Poulter both shot 64 and Lando Norris and myself didn’t..."

Rose and Norris share mutual admiration and a friendly bond, which has grown over the boundaries of the Formula 1 circuit and fairways. Apart from the Dutch GP, Rose has shown his support for the English F1 racing icon in the past. Last year, when Norris was leading the Miami GP over Red Bull star Max Verstappen and Ferrari icon Charles Leclerc, Rose urged Norris to 'bring it home'.
