THE BAG TAG: AMERICAN IDOL WINNER TAYLOR HICKS
May 4, 2014 Amy Rogers

A golfer since childhood, Taylor Hicks won season 5 of American Idol in 2006. Since then, he's become the first "Idol" winner to perform regularly in Las Vegas, just recently wrapping his run at Paris Las Vegas. We caught up with the soulful singer to see what he's working on with his golf game, what's his most memorable moment on the course, and what he's working on next.


YSB: What attracted you to the game of golf?

TH: Well it kinda just happened. My grandfather was a member of a country club so all the kids in the neighborhood family were members too. So we just played a lot.

YSB: What is your most memorable moment in golf?

TH: It didn't dawn on me until I started slowing down that I would actually play celebrity pro-am’s after winning Idol. I played the Bob -Hope for the first time. Crowd, and everything. Super nerve wracking- my foursome was Clint Eastwood, Alice Cooper, and Scott Hamilton and a rotation of PGA golfers. Unbelievable.

YSB: How is your game, what are you working on now?

TH: I do work on my game when I can. I need to get off the tee box a little better, but hopefully that will change with some range time.

YSB: What do you love about the game of golf?

TH: Every shot in golf is unique. Distances, club selection etc. If you can learn the basics, you are hooked for life.

YSB: You recently wrapped your run in Las Vegas. What are you working on now and where will be able to see you perform?

TH: Working on my golf game haha.
