Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce win golf event

It’s settled, the NFL is better than the NBA on the golf course.

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and TE Travis Kelce emerged victorious over Golden State Warriors stars Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in the latest iteration of “The Match.”

Most importantly, they helped raise a ton of money for charity, with the 12-hole scramble at Wynn Golf Club in Las Vegas benefiting No Kid Hungry. Kelce won a special closest to the hole challenge on hole No. 6, earning a $100K donation from Capitol One for the No Kid Hungry charity.

This marked Mahomes’ second time appearing in the one-off golf challenge, but his first time winning. He lost the event last offseason with Bills QB Josh Allen as his partner, facing off against then-Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and then-Bucs QB Tom Brady.

Curry and Thompson were big favorites coming into the exhibition, but Mahomes and Kelce took the game over quickly. After a tie on hole No. 1, Mahomes and Kelce won three consecutive holes. Kelce had the better long shot on the day, but Mahomes made some really great putts throughout.

After six holes, the Chiefs were up five on the Warriors. They ended things on the tenth hole, with Kelce sinking an easy putt to ensure that Curry and Thompson couldn’t mount a comeback.
