A few years ago, Mahomes opened up about his love for the game.

"Golf has become a huge part of everything," he said as per Golf.com. "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 revealed that he developed a love for golf because of his father, former baseball star Pat Mahomes Sr.

"He was always betting on me,” he added. "He would have his buddies out there, they’d hit their drives, he’d take me to the front tees and I would hit it just as far as they did. I made him a couple bucks that way."

According to Golf.com, Patrick Mahomes has a handicap of around 7.7. He also competed in Capital One's exhibition, The Match, alongside his teammate Travis Kelce. The duo secured a 3&2 victory over Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson in the eighth edition of the event. The win was somewhat of an upset, considering the NBA duo had better golf skills and lower handicaps.

Mahomes has also participated in several Pro-Ams as well as the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament.
