Neymar showed supporters why he should return to focusing on football, as he displayed his lack of golf skills to the world.

The Barcelona star appears in a video called ‘Neymar Jnr’s Challenge’, in which he is seen trying out his iron and putting skills. 

Neymar, currently in Brazil preparing for the Olympics, will miss the start of Barcelona’s next campaign as the Games schedule clashes with the beginning of the Spanish season.

The Brazilian also missed out playing for his country at the Copa America, as Barcelona feared Neymar’s participation in both tournaments would affect his preparations for the new season. 

Back to the video and Neymar straight away gets off to a bad start, as his first iron shot is an air shot, while the next only travels a few yards.

The Brazilian then gets back to doing what he does best, by showing off his football kick up skills. Neymar jokes: ‘I’m pretty good with my feet, too’.

Luckily for Neymar, he starts to gain a bit more credibility with the putter, holing two putts in a row, the second one being a no look putt. Jordan Spieth eat your heart out.

In Neymar’s defence, this was the first time the Brazilian had picked up a golf club. Maybe with a lot more practice, he might get a late call up to the Olympic golf squad.

Golf at the Rio Olympics, which has been included for the first time since 1904, has been plagued with controversy.

Many big name players in the world of golf have dropped out, including Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Rory McIlroy, Adam Scott, Branden Grace and Louis Oosthuizen, with the majority of golf stars citing the zika virus as their reason for not attending the Olympics.

Seven of the top 15 golfers in the world will still play in Brazil but losing the top four could possibly prevent golf from being included in future Olympics.
