Master Snoop: I’m hip to golf

Rapper Snoop Dogg said that while the US Masters may be the most prestigious tournament in golf, it suffers from a coolness deficit, something he plans to change when he brings some “hip hop flavor” to the tournament.

While the Super Bowl, World Series and NBA Finals draw movie stars and musicians, the only celebrities at golf tournaments are the ones on the greens, he said during a press conference Wednesday.

So the LA musician, who has sold more than 35 million records worldwide, is taking it upon himself to change the game.

“Now is the time for golf to get hip,” he said. “That’s why I’m here.”
