Looks like the “golf bug” has bitten another member of the Mahomes family! After Patrick Mahomes got the NFL hooked on golf again, inspired by none other than Michael Jordan (MJ), it seems his little sister Zoe Mahomes is taking a swing at the game too.

Zoe recently posted an IG story of herself teeing off at Topgolf. While she might be just having fun, it shows she’s catching the golf fever too, likely thanks to her brother and his idol. We all know MJ’s competitive fire didn’t stop on the basketball court. Golf became his post-retirement obsession—a game he called “the hardest to play.” That same passion seems to have rubbed off on Mahomes, who practically lives on the golf course in his free time. 

P-Mahomes’ nine-year-old half sister is proving to be quite the sports enthusiast herself. Born in 2015 to Pat Mahomes Sr. and his ex-girlfriend Anika Zoe Cooper, she’s already carving out her path. While her dad’s MLB career included stints with the Red Sox and Mets, and her brother is an NFL star, Zoe’s all about soccer and basketball (and now golf!). In a recent IG reel, she confidently picked soccer and basketball as her favorites, showing she’s got her own thing going.

Zoe’s already a rising star on the FC Dallas youth soccer team, playing as a center midfielder under Coach Haylock. She proudly says, “My dad played baseball, and my brother plays football. I’m gonna be a soccer star.” She’s a big fan of Paris Saint-Germain, a top team in the French Ligue 1, looking up to players like Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar. It’s clear she’s got big dreams and the drive to make them happen.

Could a sibling golf rivalry be brewing in the Mahomes household? One thing is for sure, we might see both siblings on the greens soon.

From gridiron to greens: Mahomes’ golf journey with MJ’s influence 

Following in basketball legend Michael Jordan’s footsteps, Mahomes has wholeheartedly embraced golf as taught by his father Pat Sr. While the QB known for his killer, no-look passes on the field, his competitive streak doesn’t stop there. Just like Jordan got hooked on golf, Mahomes is all about mastering the game too. 

This shared love for golf could really benefit Mahomes. But there’s a catch: even Jordan found teeing off in front of a crowd nerve-wracking—a pressure Mahomes doesn’t usually face on the gridiron.

As the new season’s about to kick off, Patrick Mahomes is gunning for a historic three-peat, and these off-season golf adventures could be his secret weapon. Can Mahomes’ passion for golf and MJ-inspired mindset give him the edge for yet another Super Bowl win? Here’s to hoping for the best!
