World’s richest athlete reportedly banned from golf club after breaking one strict rule
Michael Jordan’s passion for golf landed him in hot water when he unknowingly broke a long-standing rule at the prestigious Miami course.
NBA legend and billionaire athlete Michael Jordan may have dominated basketball courts, but one strict rule at an elite golf club in Miami proved to be his undoing.
The six-time NBA champion, widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time, found himself permanently banned from the exclusive La Gorce Country Club in 2012 for violating the establishment’s rigid dress code.
Jordan, who boasts an estimated net worth of $3.5 billion according to Forbes, has spent his post-basketball years indulging in a variety of sports, from NASCAR racing to deep-sea fishing.
However, his passion for golf landed him in hot water when he unknowingly broke a long-standing rule at the prestigious Miami course.
According to the L.A. Times, Jordan teed off at La Gorce in a pair of cargo shorts, seemingly unaware that the club had a strict policy against them.
The NBA icon who is the world’s richest athlete, had managed to play 11 holes before staff approached him and requested that he return to the clubhouse to change into more suitable attire.
However, Jordan refused to interrupt his game, leading to an immediate ban from the club.
His representatives later defended his actions, arguing that he had played at the course numerous times before in cargo shorts without issue.
“Michael Jordan did wear cargo pants. He had been there many times before and had worn cargo pants previously, and had never been made aware that he was violating any dress code,” his rep stated.
“This time, he was made aware of the violation on the 12th hole, and at that point, he did refuse to interrupt his game and return to the clubhouse and change. We were not aware that he is not allowed to return to La Gorce. I guess it’s their loss – as MJ is a great golfer and a great guest.”

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
