Connor Cruise—the 29-year-old son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman—shared a rare photo of himself hitting the golf course with his friends. Take a look.
Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman‘s son is teeing up for a great year.
Connor Cruise recently kicked off 2025 at the links, swinging by Lost City Golf Course in Sun City, South Africa.
In a photo posted on Instagram Stories Jan. 7, he hit the 18-hole course in fashion, sporting a patterned golf polo bearing the luxury resort’s logo. The 29-year-old paired the look with a camel-colored cap, white trousers and matching gloves.
But he wasn’t the only one hanging out on the greens. In addition to his golfing buddies, Connor also ran into some local wildlife—including a crocodile chilling by the water at the 13th hole and two antelopes butting antlers near a sand trap.
He quipped in the caption, “Double bogey alert!”
Indeed, golf is a game close to Connor’s heart. In fact, he was seen sporting a cap from the famed Pelican Golf Club while visiting his dad Tom in London last June, before playing at the Florida course in December.
And when Connor is not working on his putt, he is an avid angler. As seen in the few pictures on his Instagram, the DJ often cruises out to open waters around the Sunshine State to catch a variety of game fish.

“I know it was tough to fit that in the truck,” he wrote in a 2022 post, after donating a 105-pound grouper to a local food bank, “but glad the fish was able to go and help those in need of it!”
However, despite his travels, Connor and his 32-year-old sister Isabella Cruise have largely stayed out of the public spotlight since their parents’ 2001 divorce. (Tom is also dad to 18-year-old Suri Cruise with ex Katie Holmes, while Nicole shares daughters Sunday Kidman Urban, 16, and Faith Kidman Urban, 14, with husband Keith Urban.)
