Two-time Super Bowl winner, Patrick Mahomes, has managed to steadily improve his game over the years, while winning games along the way. The 27-year-old started playing the sport with his father, former MLB pitcher Pat Mahomes Sr. who also used to take him to a golf course on several occasions. When Patrick became an NFL player, his interest in Golf also increased, and now he is often seen competing against some of the biggest names in the world on lush green courses.

Just like any other person, Patrick also has a list of celebs whom he would like to include in his dream Golf foursome. When enquired about the same during an appearance on First Take last year, the young signal caller gave a very well-thought-out and fun answer, including the likes of Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods in his response.
Patrick Mahomes wanted to play Golf with Tiger Woods & Michael Jordan
The first player on Patrick’s list was obviously the golf legend, Tiger Woods. Any dream foursome would be incomplete without Woods. Then the second person on his list was the six-time NBA champion, Michael Jordan. MJ is an athlete who has mastered two very different sports.
His love for Golf knows no bounds, because of which the billionaire even spent a fortune towards building a personal 18-hole, expansive gold course. As one can imagine, MJ is not someone who would just have a few laughs on Golf course and let other celebs win.
The man is known for getting very competitive on the course and Mahomes didn’t forget to highlight that while naming MJ in his dream Gold foursome. “I would say, Michael Jordan. Just because I have heard so many stories about him on the Golf course. I might lose some money(to Jordan) as he is a great competitor,” Mahomes said.
The last person on his list was his favorite target and two-time Super Bowl winner, Travis Kelce. The QB said that they have the best time together because of their friendship. Hence, the list is interesting, and it would be a fan’s dream to watch these four swing clubs while share funny anecdotes.
Mahomes and Kelce will challenge Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson at ‘The Match’ this year
On June 29th, champions from the NFL and NBA worlds will go against each other in the eighth edition of The Match. The star quarterback of the Chiefs and his favorite target, Travis Kelce, will face off against Golden State Warriors stars Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry in the 12-hole exhibition.
It will be the first edition of The Match, which will feature an all-NFL side vs. an all-NBA side. Also, it will be the third time that the match will take place under the lights of the Wynn Las Vegas.
Last summer, Mahomes participated in The Match for the first time, teaming up with fellow All-Pro quarterback Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills. However, they were defeated by two iconic figures of the sport: Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. This year, Kelce and Thompson will be responsible for offering experienced guidance to their respective teams.
Expect a lively exchange of banter between the participants, particularly Kelce who is known for his vocal nature.
