The One Direction star set up Modest Golf Management - the company he set up earlier this year to help find and nurture new talent - and has finally nabbed his first client, amateur player Guido Migliozzi.
Taking to his Twitter account on Monday (08.08.16), Niall announced his new signing, writing: "Delighted to welcome @guidomigliozzo to @modestgolf. Very much look forward to working with you in the future (sic)"
Meanwhile, the 22-year-old singer recently admitted he turned to golf to help escape the pressures of being in a boy band, who took an extended hiatus in March this year, because it helped relax him and distract him form music.
He said: "Well, I've got into it more over the past four or five years and appreciate it more.
"When I was on the road with One Direction it allowed me to escape the hotel for a few hours and relax ... It's a great way to escape from everything for a few hours."
And Niall admitted he is a complete "anorak" when it comes to golf statistics.
He explained: "I love it. I'm obsessed with it to be honest. I have a massive passion for it and I play quite a lot - most of the time at The Grove [in Hertfordshire] which is convenient because it's just 20 minutes from my home. It's a good challenging course and they look after me really well down here, all the lads are sound. Plus it's in great condition all the time, one of the best around.
"I watch an awful lot of golf on the TV. I love all the stats and when they break down swings. I can tell you who's top in greens in regulation, driving distance and stuff like that. I'm a bit of an anorak, but I find it all very interesting."
