Sure, Christmas gifts are a thing that everyone does, but most people don’t do it the Mahomes way. In 2023, Forbes reported that Mahomes surprised each of the Kansas City Chiefs linemen with a custom golf cart for the holidays. Each cart was emblazoned with their name and jersey number, retailing for $12,700. With 13 linemen currently on the squad, that’s over $165,000 — which is still pocket change for Mahomes. “I’m glad they enjoyed it,” he told the outlet. “It’s that part of the year, and they do a lot for me. So I’m going to take care of them as well.” Mahomes, who is an avid golfer, is well aware that these presents might not even get good use on the green. “I’m like, ‘Man, this is sweet,'” he added. “I figured I’d get them something that I enjoy.”
To be fair, this kind of lavish gift spending doesn’t totally come out of left field for NFL stars. Also in 2023, star running back for the San Francisco 49ers, Christian McCaffrey, bought the entire offensive line new golf clubs and fancy bottles of tequila. “And I figured if they don’t play golf, they will at some point in their life,” McCaffrey told Sports Illustrated, explaining why he sprung for golf clubs.
