LPGA Superstar Becomes the Sole Women in the Dream NFL Players’ List That Features Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy

Sports is a domain of mixed interactions. It is rare to find a field completely cut off from the rest. This connection between various games was witnessed recently on the greens of Edgewood Tahoe’s South course. It was during the recent 2023 American Century Celebrity Golf Championship that celebrities of different sports gathered together to experience a game of golf.

Though, the $600,000 event brought out the golf fan inside the sports stars. Post the championship, American Football players were seen answering questions related to the game of golf. The chosen names of golfers like Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler, and Dustin Johnson, hardly came as a shock to anyone. It was the divergent choice made by the American Wide Receiver that brought a plot reversal, which included the LPGA Tour Pro Danielle Kang!

In a recent post by golfoncbs, the American football icons were asked to nominate their ideal groups for a golf foursome. It wasn’t surprising for the players to mostly select prominent male golfers as their competitors. However, the twist in the story happened when Davante Adams, the Las Vegas Raiders’ footballer, took the mic. While his illustrious list consisted of DJ and Collin Morikawa, he confidently added Danielle Kang as his competitor.

Given the caliber of both golfers, the names weren’t shocking to be present among the picks. Also, Patrick Peterson added Jon Rahms‘ name to his roster.

Considering how male-dominant the rest of the groups were, Kang’s selection seemed even more staggering. She herself also did not hold back from acknowledging the same.
