No more music? Niall Horan has gone for a MAJOR career change!

Our favourite Mullingar man, Niall Horan, has stepped away from the world of pop music, and has landed himself a new job in professional sport (kind of). 

Having taken an extended hiatus from One Direction in 2015, the Drag Me Down singer has taken on a new role as an Ambassador to the Ryder Cup 2016 tournament. 

The Ryder Cup, which was established in 1927, is a men's golf competition between teams from Europe and The United States. 

Darren Clarke, a professional Irish golfer, announced to his 322,000 Twitter followers that Niall was to be an ambassador for the European team this year.
