It seems it has become a tradition for Davante Adams to be on the golf field every offseason. This time again, he graced his presence at Shadow Creek Golf Course, and had a fan moment with the golf star.

Professional golfer Nelly Korda came to Las Vegas as the best golfer, having won three tournaments in a row. She won again on Sunday night, defeating Leona Maguire 4 and 3 in the T-Mobile Match Play at Shadow Creek, securing her fourth consecutive victory. And Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver had an honorable title to bestow upon her.

In a latest Instagram story, Davante Adams re-shared a picture of his and Nelly Korda’s photo, originally posted by the T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards official IG account. The two athletes posed together after the game with Korda lifting the trophy in her hands, and Adams celebrating her victory with a smile. Furthermore, WR shared a caption along with the story — “🐐🐐🐐🐐 in a row.

Additionally, the T-Mobile Match Play’s official IG page also shared other few stories, in one of which displayed Adams going for a shot to try for an Ace. Despite fun, this golf game was hosted for some philanthropic work too. As per the page, “In the 2024 Players Challenge presented by Coca-Cola, @mgmresortsintl donated $40,000 to the Just One Project, a local community partner that services southern Nevada.”

The final score didn’t really show how the match went because Korda was in control from the beginning. She scored three birdies in a row and was 4 points ahead after seven holes. Her opponent, her Solheim Cup rival, never really posed a threat to her.
