Patrick Mahomes, who recently signed a mammoth $450 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs, took some time off his regular training. Instead, he tried his luck in golf. And guess what, he drained a perfect putt.

Before the regular NFL season starts, Mahomes has participated in yet another competition. But this time, it won’t be football. The reigning Super Bowl MVP will be seen at the American Century Championship (ACC). His teammate tight end Travis Kelce will join him there.

On the day of his first-round game, July 10, Mahomes tweeted again, expressing his nervous feeling. He wrote, “Have no idea how I’m going to focus today playing my first round @ACChampionship with @tkelce and my man Charles Barkley”.

Star-studded event

This year’s ACC is going on at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Lake Tahoe. The tournament started on July 7 and will continue until July 12. This celebrity special tournament features three rounds, which follows a modified Stableford points format instead of standard stroke play. This year marks the competition’s 31st edition.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes will join basketball star Stephen Curry, who is the Golden State Warriors’ point guard. He has thrice won the NBA and became an NBA MVP on two occasions. Another former basketball player, Charles Barkley too, will participate alongside Mahomes. This will be Barkley’s 25th appearance in the competition.

Over this upcoming weekend, these superstars of their respective games will take on each other in the golf course. This would be Mahomes’ debut in the competition, while Curry had been there seven times before this year. So, in terms of experience, Curry might have an edge over the most expensive sportsman in the world.

Another celebrity athlete, MLB’s former Oakland Athletics pitcher Mark Mulder will also participate. He has won three back-to-back ACC titles between 2015 and 2017.
