Trevino and Lopez share a light moment
The two golfers, who can boast of 77 combined victories on the PGA and LPGA Tours, were seen driving off the tee at the charity event. A winner of 48 LPGA Tour events, Lopez was the first to hit and drove an excellent shot, which prompted Trevino to utter in disbelief “that was beautiful” multiple times until he was ready to tee.

The 6-time Major Championship winner, now standing at a ripe-old age of 82, took his signature stance and drove his ball in his unique style, which hasn’t changed a bit after all these years. He didn’t look too pleased with his shot, moving quickly for someone of his age to presumably hit the next shot.

While walking back, Trevino was heard mentioning something to his caddie. Here is every word of what he said after his tee shot.
Trevino: “When I get on the Bermuda grass that ball… You gotta change tennis shoes once you get down there, wear them out. Right down there.” (pointing to a specific location)

Do Lee Trevino and Nancy Lopez still play golf?
Lopez officially announced her retirement from the sport after the 2002 season due to recurring knee problems and turned her attention toward her family. Trevino, on the other hand, retired from the PGA Tour in 1984 after a glorious career spanning over two decades.
