"Good catch, Tyreek" - Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa tests Min Woo Lee’s football skill at the Cognizant Classic

Australian golfer Min Woo Lee and NFL quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had fun playing football together during a pro-am event at the 2024 Cognizant Classic tournament.

Lee, gearing up for the PGA Tour event starting Thursday, February 29, was joined by Tagovailoa, who tested Lee's football skills. The PGA Tour released a video from Palm Beach Gardens showcasing Australian golfer Min Woo Lee practicing with Tua Tagovailoa.

During the session, the NFL star tossed a football from the pond's edge, and to everyone's surprise, Kim managed to catch it. Tagovailoa later commended Lee, saying, "Good catch, Tyreek," referring to Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

Following their football practice, Lee even sought advice from the NFL star, saying, "No, I gave you tips. You need to give me tips as well."
Tagovailoa reponded "I think whatever is more comfortable. I think everyone likes to have at least two, two fingers."
