Zac Efron’s Shirtless Golf Video Causes Chaos: ‘I Suddenly Love Golf’

Zac Efron has officially turned the golf course into a thirst trap.

The “High School Musical” alum sent Instagram into a full-on meltdown after posting a slow-motion video of himself shirtless, swinging a golf club with picture-perfect form and a serious smolder.

Wearing only dark shorts and glasses, Zac Efron’s ripped physique and focused swing quickly stole the show and the internet’s attention.

The video instantly went viral, with fans flooding the comments to voice their appreciation (and thirst).

“And just like that, EVERYONE IS A GOLFER NOW,” one fan declared.

Another admitted, “I suddenly love golf.”

“So happy there’s not a limit on how many times Instagram allows me to replay a video,” someone joked, while another simply summed it up with, “What kind of a fever dream am I in?”

One commenter even added, “My wife’s on here, brother.”

But while the visuals were pure gold, some fans couldn’t help but point out a missed opportunity. The background music.

Many commented that Efron should have used his iconic “High School Musical 2” solo, “Bet On It,” which famously featured him dramatically singing and dancing across a golf course.

“Wasted opportunity to not use ‘Bet On It’ as the song,” one fan wrote.

“I reckon there was another song you could have used on this golf course vid,” added another.

“Is this the set of ‘HSM2’?!” a nostalgic viewer asked.

This isn’t Zac Efron’s first time turning the golf course into a viral moment. Back in 2019, he posted another shirtless golf video that quickly made the rounds online. Swinging under the sun with his signature abs on full display, the clip had fans just as breathless then as they are now.

One commenter boldly asked, “Marry me please lol,” while others immediately drew the connection to his unforgettable “High School Musical 2” number, “Bet On It.”

Fans dropped lyrics in the comments like, “Woooooah. Hold up,” “Gotta work on your swing. Gotta do your own thing,” and “You can bet on me,” proving that Efron’s Disney-era golf dramatics have a permanent place in pop culture and in the minds of fans who never forgot.

More than 15 years after “High School Musical 2” aired, Zac Efron is finally spilling the behind-the-scenes truth about one of the film’s most legendary moments, and yes, it involves that golf course scene.

In a 2024 “Still Watching Netflix” interview alongside his “A Family Affair” co-star Joey King, Efron revealed that his dramatic solo performance of “Bet on It” was completely improvised on the spot.

“That was all improv,” he shared while answering a fan question from a cookie jar. “And we shot it, I think the whole song, in like three hours.”

Apparently, the spontaneous choreography came out of necessity. “We had no ideas for what to do on the day,” Efron explained. “The director, he was like, ‘Dude, we have no concept for this song. What do you want to do?’ I was like, ‘I don’t know, we’re on a golf course.’” The rest, as they say, is Disney Channel history.

Directed by Kenny Ortega, “High School Musical 2” marked the 70th Disney Channel Original Movie and went on to become a cultural phenomenon, with “Bet on It” earning a lasting spot in pop culture, especially as fans continue referencing it in 2025, thanks to Efron’s recent shirtless golf videos.
