This development comes after Adidas president Jeff Lienhart confirmed the news just weeks before the Super Bowl. Mahomes’ involvement with the apparel company makes him the first non-golf athlete to receive his own golf line, per Front Office Sports.
The decision by Adidas is certainly a major opportunity in the golf space as the game continues to grow. However, Leinhart also revealed that the inclusion of Mahomes opens the door for other big stars to join.
“Patrick [Mahomes] is the tip of the spear, in terms of all the athletes we can tap into,” Lienhart told FOS.
