On August 13, 2025, *NSYNC’s Lance Bass confirmed that the group has accepted a golf challenge from the Backstreet Boys, generating excitement for a potential made-for-TV match, as reported by TMZ Sports. While in Los Angeles, Bass enthusiastically stated, “Of course, bring it!” He humorously claimed, “I’m incredible at golf,” and playfully teased his bandmate Joey Fatone about his golf skills, suggesting a fun yet competitive showdown ahead.
The upcoming matchup is becoming more intriguing due to Justin Timberlake’s impressive golf skills and Brian Littrell from the Backstreet Boys, who is rumoured to be a strong player, according to TMZ Sports. Producer Bryan Zuriff, the creator of The Match, is already organising the event, viewing it as a revival of *NSYNC’s charity sports tradition, similar to their previous Challenge For The Children basketball games. Lance Bass has expressed his willingness to collaborate on a charitable cause.
