The growing divide that has left Brooklyn Beckham feeling increasingly distanced from his close-knit family seemed to be the least of his concerns this Wednesday afternoon.

Brooklyn and his actress wife Nicola Peltz are currently caught in a tense family rift, which has led to his absence from important family gatherings in recent months, such as his father's notable 50th birthday celebration.

However, he might have wished for a hint of his famous father's sports skills while participating in a Ryder Cup celebrity golf match in New York.

Brooklyn, 26, joined a star-studded roster that featured former basketball player Toni Kukoč, American football star Eli Manning, and Saturday Night Live comedian Colin Jost during the first round of the celebrity playoffs at Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale.

For David and Victoria Beckham's oldest son, it was a humbling experience, as he faced a chorus of playful boos from the crowd while navigating the expansive course.

To top it off, a newly bearded Brooklyn found himself aimlessly searching through the bushes for his missing golf ball after a misguided swing sent it hurtling into golfing oblivion.

With hands planted on hips, the influencer looked perplexed as he scanned the undergrowth while mystified fans looked on.

'Can't they just use another ball?' asked one onlooker, evidently unfamiliar with the rules of golf, as they watched Brooklyn attempt to retrieve it.

The day had already started poorly for Brooklyn, who found himself hacking at sand shortly after teeing off when his ball came to rest in a bunker.

The error ultimately foreshadowed his later efforts, with the influencer finding himself well acquainted with the bunker as the tournament wore on.

An insider told the Daily Mail that he had horrible luck from the get-go after losing his golf ball and had to start over when his team spent longer than the allowed three minutes trying to find it.

Throughout the 11-hole game, he repeatedly hit the ball out of bounds and kept getting it stuck in the bunkers.

Onlookers made comments about how 'terrible' he was and how he had 'no talent.'

'Hitting trees, can't get out of bunkers,' one disgruntled fan remarked.

Meanwhile, another fan commented to Beckham's teammate Kukoč as he passed by, 'Isn't he making you look small?'

Some onlookers even questioned whether he was really a 'celebrity' and asked others who he was. Those who did know described him as 'David Beckham's son.'

The biggest celebrity in match one was former football star Eli Manning, 44.

Fans held up posters and begged Manning to sign their baseball caps or other memorabilia they had brought to the Ryder Cup. Some younger fans even brought along their footballs to play catch with him in between each hole.

'Beckham was not in a good mood the entire game, it seemed like,' the insider said.

'He had his head down whenever he walked by fans who were shouting for either Eli or Colin. It was obvious that he had very few fans of his own.'

The insider continued, 'At one point, he walked far away from the crowd behind the rope, as though he didn't want to deal with the rowdy USA team fans.'

The only support he got was from his caddy, who 'would pat him on the back as if he was telling him it was OK' or from another member of the team, who would give him a fist bump if he made a good shot.

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail following the game, Brooklyn admitted he knew the fans were not there to cheer him on.

'I feel like they didn't like me at all - but it was amazing,' he said.

'They gave me a bit of rubbish but I kind of expected it - being in New York, going against Eli... they were just laughing. But it is what it is, I was having fun out there. I did the best I could. It was honestly just really fun.'

The former photographer claimed that he only had weeks of golf experience.

'Honestly, it was really nerve-wracking... but it was such a cool experience - I couldn't say no. It was amazing,' he added.

Appearing unbothered by negative comments about himself and his family, he went on to say, 'There's always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife.

'Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we're happy.'

His wife Nicola, 30, remained in Los Angeles to take care of their four dogs.

It's been reported that she and Brooklyn are estranged from his parents and siblings. The couple renewed their vows over the summer in front of family members from Peltz's side of the family.

He has not appeared at any of his family members' birthday parties in recent months, including brother Romeo Beckham's 23rd birthday celebration earlier this month - as confirmed by a source who spoke to the Daily Mail.

Representing Europe, Brooklyn and Kukoč lost to Manning and Jost with the final score 7.5 to 3.5. Combined with the other three celebrity matches, the Europe team lost to the USA team with a final score of 25 to 19 points.

Other celebrities who took part in the match included Michael Strahan, Miranda Lambert, Kane Brown, Bobby Flay, Catherine Zeta Jones, Tom Felton, Pau Gasol, Noah Kahan, Oliver Phelps, John McEnroe, Teemu Selänne and Chef José Andrés.
