“I know it’s been hard getting to know sober Pat but it’s well worth it,” Pat Mahomes Sr. recently confessed on Instagram. This raw honesty set the stage for a family golf outing where the absence of one Mahomes spoke as loudly as the presence of another.

Pat Mahomes Sr. on Aug 16th teed off his inaugural benefit golf tournament at Dub’s Dread Golf Club, aiming to score big for Happy Hearts Working, B&M Ballers Little League, and KCK Public Schools Foundation for Excellence. The event, featuring a tantalizing $10,000 hole-in-one prize, became a showcase of family dynamics that rival any on-field drama.

While the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback was conspicuously absent, his brother Jackson stepped up to fill the void. The social media star shared a snap with his dad, both sporting matching red Community America Credit Union volunteer tees. Pat Sr.’s caption read, “Thanks Lo Jack for coming out to support and help with the golf tournament. Love you and had a blast.”

This family outing carries extra significance given Pat Sr.’s recent personal triumph. Just days before the tournament, he celebrated six months of sobriety—a journey that began after his third DWI arrest in February, just days before Patrick’s appearance in Super Bowl LVIII. NFL agent Chris Cabott summed up the sentiment: “Love you and proud of you, Pat.”

The Mahomes family appears to be rallying around Pat Sr. during this transformative period. This support is a stark contrast to Father’s Day, when Patrick’s silence on his dad’s Instagram post sparked speculation about family tensions. However, the Chiefs’ QB1 quickly put an end to those rumors!

Patrick Mahomes from Tee-time to screen time

While Patrick may have missed the golf event and Father’s Day shout-out, he on July retweeted a throwback photo of himself as a toddler, held by his dad during his Minnesota Twins days. It’s a subtle nod to their shared baseball roots and perhaps an olive branch amid swirling rumors.

Meanwhile, Jackson continues to build his social media empire. With over 200,000 Instagram followers and a cool million on TikTok, he’s carving out his own niche. While some critics argue he’s riding his brother’s coattails, Jackson has been using his platform to promote Patrick’s businesses as well. That’s what you call a sibling assist!

The Mahomes family’s social media presence isn’t just about likes and shares; it’s becoming a powerful tool for their charitable efforts. Pat Sr.’s golf tournament announcement gained rapid attention, thanks to their combined online reach, highlighting how they’re using their fame for good.

As Patrick gears up for another NFL season, having already played a full season’s worth of playoff games (17) with a staggering 106.3 quarterback rating, the family’s off-field dynamics continue to fascinate fans. From Patrick’s wife Brittany’s 2020 tweet – “No, let them keeping ranking him 4th in the league…we love it” – to Jackson’s constant presence at Chiefs games, the Mahomes clan proves that family drama and success can coexist.

Let’s not forget about Patrick’s other siblings. His half-brother, Graham Walker, recently entered the NCAA portal to advance his football career at Brown University. Meanwhile, his half-sisters, Mia Randall (12) and Zoe Mahomes (9), are making waves in their sports. Mia excels in basketball, baseball, and soccer, while Zoe plays for FC Dallas.

Whether it’s sinking putts for charity or sharing personal triumphs, the Mahomes family is showing that in the game of life, teamwork makes the dream work – even when the star player sits out a round. As Patrick once said about his father’s influence, “My dad has had me long tossing since, well, forever. I think that helped build arm strength, helped build accuracy, and touch.” It seems those lessons extend far beyond the field.
