Retirement did not confine 72-year-old former Alabama coach, Nick Saban, to mere relaxation. Rather, it led him to share the greens with none other than Travis Scott at the Floridian National Golf Club. The star-studded event, apart from being a display of golfing finesse, had been woven into the fabric of philanthropy. The organization credits of the event go to Scott’s Cactus Jack Foundation and basketball icon, Reggie Jackson’s Mr. October Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic.
Often hailed as a college football’s ‘Greatest of all Time‘, Nick Saban recently indulged in his passion for golf right after declaring his retirement as Alabama’s head coach. On Monday, January 29, he participated in the annual event that raises funds for children’s causes. Travis Scott, who failed to retain his excitement about sharing the lush greens with the legendary Saban, posted an Instagram story. Along with this, Kristen Saban Setas, the former coach’s daughter, confirmed the collaboration by re-sharing the news on X.

With more time on his hands and the absence of colossal football responsibilities, the coach embraces the sport as a space to relax yet participate in a greater cause by connecting with other luminaries like Travis Scott. Surprisingly, the former Alabama coach mingles with the $80 million-worth rap sensation, expressing his seamless transition. In other news, Nick Saban recently purchased a residence in Jupiter, Florida and hence, his presence added a touch of local allure to the event.
The reason why Nick Saban, Travis Scott, and other big names are teeing off
The Celebrity Golf Classic provided a platform for Nick Saban and other luminaries to tee off for a purpose. Through this event, Scott and Saban joined forces with Jackson’s foundation to raise funds for improving educational opportunities. The prime focus remains on underprivileged youth who fail to pursue higher studies in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
