This week, Lake Tahoe played host to the largest celebrity golf tournament of the year, the American Century Championship. Stars from all walks of life, and in particular athletes from sports outside of golf, take part each year.
While NHL legend Joe Pavelski stole the trophy, edging out Stephen Curry, John Smoltz, and Baker Mayfield with a walk-off eagle, one of the weekend’s viral moments belonged to Mayfield himself.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB didn’t just swing clubs, but hilariously cemented his legend status shotgunning a beer in full swagger.
Mayfield, paired with Jason and Travis Kelce at the American Century, was part of the most chaotic trio on the course.
The Kelce brothers had a side bet that every three-putt meant shotgunning a beer. Mayfield joined in with team, spitting up foam mid-shotgun and laughing it off.
The quarterback then took it up a notch, challenging fans to a shotgun duel near the 17th tee. Mayfield won, of course, earning the unofficial title of ML (Most Legendary) in any QB beer contest.
This isn’t new territory for Mayfield. His off-field antics have long been part of his brand. Back in 2019, he went viral for chugging a beer at a Cleveland Guardians game. Let alone some of the stuff from college.
Baker Mayfield’s game at the American Century Championship didn’t crack the top 10, but his presence was felt. He finished outside the top 20, while Travis Kelce landed at 68th. Jason Kelce, on the other hand, closed 83rd.
