Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are set to hit the links to take on Golden State Warriors stars Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in this year’s iteration of the one-off golf competition, “The Match.”
Mahomes participated in last year’s event, teaming up with Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen to face Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. Mahomes lost that matchup, so he’s hoping for redemption this time around. There is also an element of bragging rights, with a matchup between NFL and NBA players.
This year’s event will follow a 12-hole scramble format as it did in previous years. Each player will tee off and the team will then select the best ball to play, they’ll then alternate shots until the hole is finished. If there is a hole-in-one at any point in the event, the team that scores it will be awarded $2 million to a charity of their choosing. The final hole carries a $5 million charity donation, should a team score an ace. There are also other special “challenge” holes, which will each award charity donations, should they be completed.
