Harry Brook’s Personal Life
Harry Brook enjoys playing golf whenever he gets time between tours and often plays with teammates, having started the sport seriously around the age of 18 after his grandmother bought him his first set of clubs. He is a regular golfer and plays off a very low handicap, seeing golf as a way to switch off from cricket.
At home, Brook prefers relaxed clothing and dislikes wearing jeans, choosing linen trousers and polo shirts instead, especially because he spends a lot of time in hot countries. He does not grow a beard, saying it does not suit him, and keeps grooming minimal due to dry skin. He lives with his girlfriend Lucy, who usually does the cooking, while Brook handles cleaning up. He enjoys hosting barbecues for family and friends when he is home.
