Superstar Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is a huge golf fan. He can often be found playing Golf during the NFL offseason, and in an interview with golf.com, he said, "Golf has become a huge part of everything. 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 has played in plenty of charity golf games down the years, including with teammate Travis Kelce. He is also playing in a star-studded matchup this offseason, as he and Bills quarterback Josh Allen go up against Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers.
