"I started to play at the beginning of 2020. I just love playing. I used to go to hit some balls in the driving range when I was really, really young. I liked it, but since 2020, I just started to play more, to go on the course, to play some holes. I just fell in love with golf," Alcaraz said.

The Spaniard also spoke up about the peace he feels when playing golf.

"I started to play more and more. I saw myself improving, so it engaged me even more to the golf, and it has me. I just feel really peaceful when I go out and play some golf on the golf course," he added.

Amid his title-winning campaign at the 2025 US Open, Alcaraz caught up with compatriot and golfing icon Sergio Garcia to play the sport. Garcia attended some of Alcaraz's matches at Flushing Meadows as well. On the tennis front, the Spaniard's next outing is set to come at this year's Laver Cup in San Francisco.
