The spring season is in full swing as the weather begins to warm up and flowers take bloom in many parts of the country. The start of baseball is this week and the timeless golf tradition of The Master’s Tournament begins in Augusta, Georgia.
The 88th annual tournament, which draws the best golfers around the country, teed off on Thursday morning. The buzz is a little louder this year with the return of golf legend Tiger Woods after two years of inactivity due to injuries sustained from a car accident. Woods is the active leader in major championship wins and will be watched closely to see if he’s fully recovered physically.
The tournament will also have a brand new fan this year, with Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes’ daughter Sterling joining in on the fun. The former NFL MVP posted photos on Twitter Thursday of him with Sterling wearing the signature Masters green colors with the caption:
“We Ready! #themasters”

The adorable photo of the father and daughter duo quickly lit up social media with hundreds of comments and retweets. Mahomes is a well-noted golf fan with his participation in multiple offseason tournaments, like the American Century Championship.
The introduction of Sterling to the game could be the start of her athletic journey. Maybe Chiefs Kingdom and the rest of the sports world could be witnessing the genesis of the next great golf star.
