Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is set to participate in Capital One’s The Match for the second consecutive year. This time, he will team up with his teammate Travis Kelce. With a touch of sarcasm, Mahomes jokingly attributes his participation to his exceptional golf game, stating, “I think because of my golf game, it’s just so good.” The event will take place at the Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas, where Mahomes and Kelce will face off against Golden State Warriors guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, known as the Splash Brothers. Last year, Mahomes partnered with Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, but the duo was defeated by the team of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady.
Excited about the upcoming match, Mahomes expressed his enthusiasm for the clash between two different sports, saying, “It’ll be cool to have two different sports go up against each other. I know them both pretty well, so we can kind of talk some trash and do that type of stuff. And then anytime you combine Vegas and Travis, it’s going to be a good time, so I’m sure it’ll be some good TV.”
Mahomes’ Golf Game and Kelce’s Debut
Having recently concluded their offseason practice, Mahomes admitted that he hasn’t had much time to work on his golf game due to family commitments. However, reflecting on his previous performance, Mahomes remains optimistic, stating, “Going into the match last time, I was playing bad golf, and I played good out there, so I’m just hoping I can have another one like that. So I’ll play a little bit here and there. I have a charity golf tournament coming up, but other than that, we’ll just get there and roll and see when the lights come on if I can respond.”
While Mahomes is now a seasoned veteran when it comes to The Match, his teammate Travis Kelce will be making his debut in the 12-hole event. Mahomes praises Kelce’s ability to hit the ball “really far,” although it may not always be a straight shot. Despite this, Mahomes believes that when they take the field, Kelce will rise to the occasion, giving them a good chance to win the competition.
In summary, Mahomes and Kelce are gearing up for The Match, ready to face off against Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. Mahomes, known for his wit, humorously attributes his participation to his exceptional golf game. Reflecting on his previous performance, Mahomes remains hopeful for a repeat success. Additionally, he expresses confidence in his teammate Kelce’s skills, believing they have a good chance of winning the competition. The upcoming clash between two different sports promises an exciting and entertaining event for both players and fans alike.
