Erling Haaland’s Texas Adventure: From Golf Balls to Cowboy Hats

The Norwegian star’s cultural immersion in the United States blends sport, music and western flair.

Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, who helped his national side reach the World Cup quarterfinals, has been soaking up life across the Atlantic while playing in the United States.

Embracing the Lone Star Spirit

A recent clip that spread online shows him launching golf balls from the deck of a boat, the sound of Ella Langley’s single “Choosin’ Texas” echoing in the background, turning a simple pastime into a shareable moment.

During a stop at Wild Bill’s Western Store in Dallas, Haaland swapped his usual kit for a cowboy hat and a handful of Texas‑themed souvenirs, a purchase that underscored his genuine appreciation for the local vibe.

The forward has spoken about finding Americans “hilarious and positive,” and he’s already penciled a future visit to Dallas into his schedule, promising to return for more of the state’s unique flavor.
