The Voice Goes Green: Blake Shelton and Michael Bublé Face Off in a Golf Showdown That Has Fans Asking — Who Really Won?

With the new season of The Voice fast approaching, producers promised surprises to get fans buzzing. But no one expected that the first battle of the season would take place not on the stage — but on the golf course.

In a move equal parts playful and strategic, The Voice organizers arranged a friendly round of golf between two of its most charismatic stars: country icon Blake Shelton and smooth crooner Michael Bublé. What began as a casual outing to promote the show quickly turned into a spectacle that had social media ablaze, with fans debating not vocal power, but golf swings.

Blake the Cowboy vs. Michael the Crooner

The match was set at a private green just outside Los Angeles, under a blazing summer sun. Blake Shelton arrived in his trademark laid-back style — a fitted golf polo, beige chinos, a cap pulled low, and a grin that suggested he wasn’t taking the day too seriously. “It’s just golf,” he laughed to reporters. “But if winning gives me bragging rights on The Voice set, I’ll take it.”

Michael Bublé, on the other hand, looked every bit the polished gentleman. Dressed in a crisp light-blue polo shirt, khaki shorts, and sunglasses, he exuded effortless charm. “Blake thinks being taller gives him an advantage,” Bublé quipped before tee-off. “But golf, like singing, is about finesse. Let’s see who hits the right notes out here.”

The Playful Rivalry

From the very first swing, the banter flowed as freely as the golf balls flying across the fairway. Blake lined up his shot with exaggerated seriousness, only for Michael to clap sarcastically from the sidelines. When Blake’s ball landed cleanly on the green, Michael raised his eyebrows: “Not bad, cowboy. But can you do it twice?”

When it was Bublé’s turn, he delivered with precision, sending his ball soaring gracefully down the fairway. Blake pretended to shield his eyes and muttered, “Figures. The guy can sing and golf. Somebody stop him.” The crowd of invited guests, crew members, and a few lucky fans roared with laughter.

Social Media Meltdown

Clips of the showdown quickly found their way online. One video of Bublé teasing Blake as he clapped and cheered went viral within minutes, captioned: “The Voice coaches, but make it golf.” Another clip showing Blake pretending to line up his shot like he was about to fire a rifle drew comments like, “That’s the most Blake Shelton thing ever.”

Within hours, hashtags like #VoiceGolf, #BlakeVsBuble, and #TheVoiceGoesGreen were trending on Twitter. Fans debated fiercely over who looked more convincing as a golfer. One user wrote: “Blake’s got the power, but Michael’s swing is pure elegance.” Another chimed in: “Who cares who wins? I just want a duet at the 18th hole.”

More Than Just a Game

Despite the teasing and the viral memes, there was a deeper message woven into the event. The Voice producers later admitted the golf showdown was designed to highlight the camaraderie between coaches and show that competition doesn’t have to be cutthroat — it can be fun, lighthearted, and even a little messy.

A producer told People: “We wanted fans to see a different side of Blake and Michael. On the show, they’re mentors and performers, but offstage they’re just two guys who love a laugh. That’s the spirit we want to bring into this season.”

Indeed, between swings and jokes, the two stars took time to talk about what The Voice means to them. Michael, new to the show compared to Blake’s veteran status, admitted: “I’m still the rookie, but Blake’s teaching me the ropes. I think today he also tried to teach me how not to slice a golf ball.”

Blake shot back with his trademark humor: “And I’m teaching him that if he loses, he better have a song ready to make up for it.”

So Who Won?

As the game wound down, the scores were neck and neck. Blake’s power shots had carried him far, but Michael’s consistency kept him in the running. By the final hole, a small crowd gathered around to watch the decisive swing. Blake teed off with gusto, the ball landing just shy of the hole. Michael followed, his shot cleaner, straighter — and closer.

The cheers were deafening as Michael walked away with the unofficial victory. Blake, ever the good sport, raised Michael’s arm like a champion and shouted: “Fine, Bublé. You win golf. But I still win karaoke.”

A Perfect Teaser for The Voice

In the end, it wasn’t about who won or lost. It was about showing fans that The Voice isn’t just a singing competition — it’s a family, one where rivalries are fun, friendships are genuine, and surprises are always around the corner.

The golf match served as the perfect prelude to the new season, leaving fans asking: if the coaches can make us laugh this much offstage, what unforgettable moments will they bring when the red chairs start spinning again?
