Golf is a transcendent sport, with many athletes from different ranks playing it all year.
Stephen Curry, Michael Jordon and Tony Romo, Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen, as well as John Smoltz, Larry Fitzgerald, John Smoltz, and Josh Allen are just a few of the many pros who have taken up sticks to escape their world.
Golf is now making its way to the NFL Pro Bowl in an interesting way: A long drive challenge.
The 2023 Pro Bowl will be held in Las Vegas. Four Pro Bowlers representing each conference will take part in a long-drive challenge. Each player will be allowed three swings. The player who drives the ball closest to the fairway’s boundaries will earn three points for his conference. The long drive will take place on Thursday, February 2.
