Overview
- The incident occurred Tuesday during Derek Jeter’s Celebrity Shoot Out at Baha Mar’s Royal Blue course in the Bahamas, a fundraiser for Jeter’s Turn 2 Foundation.
- Video of the mishit was captured by Golfweek senior writer Adam Schupak and quickly circulated online through sports and entertainment outlets.
- Coverage differs on whether the ball struck a spectator or landed nearby, but reports indicate there were no serious injuries.
- Ja Rule appeared visibly embarrassed on camera, raised a hand as the shot veered left, and checked on the gallery after the ball flew toward the crowd.
