A marriage of madness between football and golf is taking place in the Arizona desert this week.
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A marriage of madness is taking place in the Arizona desert this week.
Brendan Steele called it “the confluence of crazy events,’’ adding, “This tournament’s always insane anyway. Now you add the Super Bowl and you add the fanatical fans from Philly and you add perfect weather and then you make this tournament an elevated event [higher purse] with every [top] player coming here. Now you’ve got this thing that is like completely crazy and we don’t really know what it’s going to look like.
“As a football fan, it was a cool experience,’’ said Thomas, who’s a Bengals fan and is split on whom to root for.“I’d be happy for both sides to win,’’ Thomas said. “I’ve gotten to know [Chiefs quarterback Patrick] Mahomes a little bit, so I’m pulling for him, and same with [Travis] Kelce. I’ve met him in Florida a few times. But I’d love to see it for Jalen and DeVonta [Smith, the Eagles’ receiver who’s an Alabama alum], too.
Gary Woodland, who plays golf regularly with Patrick Mahomes, is rooting for the Chiefs in the Super Bowl.“Mahomes changes everything,’’ Woodland said. “I’ve played a lot of golf with him and the guy is unbelievable.’’
