It was a nail-biting finish at the Augusta National Golf Course as Jon Rahm put on a sensational show to claim the coveted green jacket at the 2023 Masters championship. But if he hadn’t, Patrick Mahomes would have had his back. It turns out that the two-time Super Bowl MVP and avid golfer had a secret strategy up his sleeve to give Rahm an edge.
Patrick Mahomes has a great sense of humor. 2023 Masters champion Jon Rahm revealed the mischievous plan the Chiefs QB had to help him play better in the tournament. The story starts with Rahm gulping a tequila shot before a round of golf.
“The owner was drinking. He would force everybody in the group to take a tequila shot, which is fine. One shot doesn’t do anything, two shots over four hours. And we’re playing Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce in the offseason. They saw me doing it because I was playing against Ben Herman, the owner of Silverleaf. We always had a tight match, and he would say how the next three four holes after I take a shot, I played better golf,” Rahm said on the ‘Fore Play’ podcast.
After watching Rahm play well with a shot or two of tequila inside him, Mahomes came up with a brilliant plan to help the golfer lift the Masters’ title.
“He was telling me,’ dude I am going to the Masters this year. I’m bringing you shots’,” Rahm added.
