5 NFL players who are massive golf fans
#5 - Patrick Mahomes
Superstar Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a huge golf fan. He can often be found playing Golf during the NFL offseason, and in an interview with golf.com, he said, "Golf has become a huge part of everything. When I plan trips, when I set up my off-season, I have to figure out places to play when I'm there. I've got this love for Golf because I have to get better, and I compete, but it's also somewhere I can relax and have an awesome time."
Mahomes has played in plenty of charity golf games down the years, including with teammate Travis Kelce. He is also playing in a star-studded matchup this offseason, as he and Bills quarterback Josh Allen go up against Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.
#4 - Adam Thielen
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen isn't only an elite wideout; he could also have played Golf at a top-level. Thielen was a four-sport athlete in high school and won a golf title at Detroit Lakes High School.
He has a golf simulator at home and has competed at the American Century Golf Championship on several occasions, finishing in 12th place in 2020.
