The Houston Texans seem to have taken a page out of Patrick Mahomes‘ golf playbook! With the Chiefs QB’s Las Vegas charity event held just a couple of weeks back, it is now the Texans’ turn to raise funds while enjoying a golf course.
The 21st edition of the annual Charity Golf Classic, first established in 2002, was held on Monday and raised over $440,000 for their community service efforts. Quarterback David Mills, LB Christian Harris, and DT McTelvin Agim were seen trying their hand at putting while their mascot Toro was also present to cheer on the Texans.

The Houston Texans Foundation has been working to empower the youth of the city and has raised over $48 million since 2002. The owner echoed the team’s mission and expressed his delight at the clearing of skies, making the day fit for a fun game of golf .“It’s a beautiful day,” McNair said. He further added, “It rained all weekend. Now we’ve got a nice day for golf. Raising money for charity, Texans charity, which raises money for kids.”
The head coach also appreciated the initiative to help the kids of Houston while admitting that he’s not a great golfer. “No pressure on me, I’m not a big golfer,” said Ryans. “It’s definitely fun for me to be out here supporting the Houston Texans Foundation and all the great work they do in the community, supporting the kids in Houston. It’s outstanding work.”
The charity was a splendid success and another noble effort in the NFL to give back to society. Another non-profit effort organized a golf extravaganza in a star-studded event in Las Vegas: ’15 and the Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic,’ which gave the Chiefs Kingdom some memorable moments of their favorite stars.
