Fans were treated to a dose of Céline Dion’s signature magic on March 4 when she unexpectedly broke into song during a lighthearted interview at the TGL match between Atlanta Drive GC and Jupiter Links GC in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.
Chatting with ESPN announcer Marty Smith, Dion was asked which of her songs best summed up her golf game. Without missing a beat, she launched into her legendary Titanic ballad “My Heart Will Go On”—but with a playful twist:
“Near, far, wherever you are, I believe that my ball will go on.”
Her quick wit had the crowd chuckling, and she even coaxed Smith into singing along. “You’re not bad,” Dion teased, prompting Smith to joke, “I’m coming to Vegas for the residency!” Cameras even caught Tiger Woods laughing from the sidelines, while ESPN’s Matt Barrie took the opportunity to revisit the age-old Titanic debate—claiming Rose was “selfish” for not sharing the door with Jack.
Céline Dion’s Rare Appearances After Health Struggles
In recent years, moments like these have been rare for the Canadian superstar. Dion has been largely out of the spotlight after revealing her diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome, a rare neurological disorder affecting only one to two people per million. Her journey and resilience were recently documented in the Amazon Prime Video series I Am: Céline Dion.
Despite her health battles, she delivered a breathtaking performance at the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony last summer, singing Edith Piaf’s timeless “Hymne à l’Amour”—reminding the world of her unmatched vocal power.
Could Eurovision See Her Return?
There’s a glimmer of hope that Dion might grace the stage at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in May—the very competition that catapulted her to fame in 1988 when she represented Switzerland with “Ne Partez Pas Sans Moi.”
While organizers confirm conversations have taken place, they note that any appearance would depend on her health and might only be confirmed at the last moment.
Until then, fans will treasure moments like her playful golf course serenade—a reminder that Céline Dion’s voice, humor, and spirit remain as unforgettable as ever.
