Golf

Yeah, he's not good.

Here's Brazilian soccer superstar Neymar trying his hand at golf ... and failing miserably.

Justin Timberlake got five to the face from a golf spectator -- and then the spectator got busted by cops ... TMZ has learned.

We obtained video of JT shot Saturday at the American Century Celebrity Pro-Am in Lake Tahoe -- and you clearly see a hand smack Justin as he's walking through the crowd. He didn't take it lightly either.

Justin turned around and yelled, "Why would you do that?" After he walked off, security for the tourney was seen talking to the slaphappy suspect.

Tournament reps saw it as a minor incident, and Justin -- who didn't have a mark on him -- didn't want to press charges ... but when Sheriff's deputies attempted to escort the man off the course things went south.

Law enforcement sources tell us he claimed he just wanted to "touch" Justin and got overzealous -- but refused to leave the premises. We're told he appeared intoxicated and became belligerent. Cops arrested him for disorderly conduct.

Always remember ...

French Montana and Drake hit the links in the Dominican Republic Thursday in the name of new music.

They are staying at Casa de Campo and took over the city of La Romana to shoot their video for "No Shopping" ... the next single off French's upcoming album. We don't know how they fared on the golf course, but based on Drizzy's footwear ... it wasn't a serious round.

However, the chicks in the background of this shot -- VERY serious.

Drake blew off the Billboard Music Awards, even though he was in Las Vegas ... and opted instead for a few rounds of golf with his friends.

Actually, it was golf with a tech spin -- at the brand new Topgolf in Vegas. We got this video of Drake and his pal, Jas Prince, teeing off Sunday night ... just a few blocks away from T-Mobile Arena ... where the award show was going down.

It's bizarre ... Drizzy was up for 11 BMAs ... and won for Top Rap Artist -- but for some reason he obviously wasn't feeling it.

On the other hand, both guys take decent strokes -- at least in this video. Y'know how golf goes.

Just two months after giving birth, Ivanka Trump is already golfing like a BOSS -- crushing a tee shot in front of the best female golfers in the world ... while wearing heels!

Donald's daughter was at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Jersey ... gearing up for the 2017 Women's Open with Cristie Kerr, Paula Creamer and Brittany Lincicome when they decided to show off their swings.

Check out Ivanka ... who was so impressive, you can even hear the pros giving her props.

Phil Mickelson made nearly $1 MILLION in the stock market off information stemming from insider trading ... this according to the Securities and Exchange Commission which just sued the golfer.

According to a lawsuit filed by the SEC, Mickelson got a tip about Dean Foods company in 2012 from famed sports gambler Billy Walters.

The SEC believes Walters got his information from a longtime friend who was a director at the company.

But since Phil allegedly took Billy's info -- and made roughly $931k in profits from subsequent trades -- the SEC believes Phil's money was ill-gotten and he should have to forfeit the money to the SEC.

The SEC believes Phil owed Walters money at the time of the trade -- the assumption is that he urged Phil to make the financial moves to make some money to pay him back.

Oscar De La Hoya isn't impressed with Donald Trump's taco salad tribute to Cinco de Mayo.

The boxer just joined the guys on "TMZ Sports" (airs Thursday on FS1) -- and addressed not only the taco salad situation ... but also the new footage of him praising Trump's golf skills.

Here's a teaser of the interview -- which airs tonight on FS1.

Oscar makes it clear he's not backing off his "Trump Is a Cheater" golf stance ... and has a huge problem with his taco salad.

Watch TMZ Sports -- weeknights at 9 PM PT on FS1.

Before Oscar De La Hoya hit Donald Trump with hardcore cheating allegations -- he was singing Trump's praises as a "great golfer" after personally watching the guy nail an impressive shot.

Both Oscar -- and George Lopez -- gave video testimony about Trump's incredible golf skills following an outing with the businessman in April 2010 at Trump National Golf Club Los Angeles.

In the video, obtained by TMZ Sports, Trump walks up to the group, takes a club and crushes a tee shot at the 15th hole ... putting the ball feet from the pin on a par 3 without even warming up.

"I'm actually very surprised that he hit his tee shot so close to the pin because that was his first shot of the day," Oscar said ... "What does that tell you? He's a great golfer."

George Lopez also went on camera and praised Trump for the shot.

It's a COMPLETELY different story from the one De La Hoya told this week -- in which he painted Trump as a bumbling cheater who repeatedly tried to pull fast ones on his fellow players.

But we're told Trump didn't even play with Oscar that day -- he only stepped on the course for that ONE shot and left. He claims it's the only time he's EVER been on a golf course with the boxer.

Donald Trump "outright cheated" during a golf outing with Oscar De La Hoya ... so says the boxer himself who claims Trump resorted to dirty tricks just to beat him on the links.

Oscar was on "The Score" radio show in Vegas when he recanted his golf match with Trump at Donald's own golf course in Los Angeles.

"I witnessed it. He outright cheated," Oscar said ... "not once, not twice but 3 times."

You gotta listen to Oscar tell the story ... the Golden Boy says he was cracking up the entire time because "you have a man who's a billionaire and he has to cheat just to say he beat me."

One meltdown doesn't make you a loser ... especially when it's Jordan Spieth.

We were talkin' about Spieth's disaster of a finish with Chris O'Donnell (he's a huge golf nut) -- when Chris essentially explained why Jordan's quadruple bogey at the 12th hole at The Masters won't define him.

Long story short ... O'Donnell says there's still one thing Spieth does better than ANYONE ELSE in the world.
