Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce is a championship-winning combination. As are the Splash Brothers, Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson.
That’s on a football field and a basketball court. How about the golf course?
The latest edition of the Match series is here. Curry and Thompson of the Golden State Warriors will battle Mahomes and Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs on Thursday at the Wynn in Las Vegas in Capital One’s The Match. The format will be a 12-hole, two-team scramble.
Curry and Mahomes have played in the Match series before — both players lost — while their partners are making their debut.
This will be the third Match at the Wynn, ranked No. 5 among Golfweek’s Best courses in Nevada. Brooks Koepka defeated Bryson DeChambeau in the first installment, and Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers beat Mahomes and Josh Allen in the second edition.

Course information
Wynn Golf Club, right behind the Wynn Las Vegas hotel and casino, fits perfectly into its brash surroundings on the Strip. It’s as Vegas as Vegas can be when it comes to golf course architecture.
Much of the course is brand new, despite golf having been played on the site since 1952 when it became the Desert Inn Golf Club.
After scrapping plans to build a lagoon on the site with new hotel rooms and restaurants, Fazio and his son, Logan, were called to breathe fresh life into the abandoned track. Wynn Golf Club reopened in October 2019 with eight new and 10 refurbished holes, playing to a par of 70 at 6,722 yards.
As far as playing Wynn Golf Club, you don’t have to know someone who knows someone. You just have to have some disposable income.
Tee times can be made by resort guests 90 days in advance, and general public play is open with 30-day advanced bookings. But be ready to fork over the cash. Depending on the time of year, green fees can reach $750.
