World Golfer

In 2013, fellow Cardinals receiver Andre Roberts was first bitten by the golf bug that would infect Larry Fitzgerald Jr. from age 29 to 40 to, well, the rest of his life.

“Andre asked me to try it and drove me out to a charity event,” says Fitzgerald, a Minneapolis native, former Holy Angels star and probable first-ballot Pro Football Hall of Famer in 2026. “I really did not want to go.”

How'd he shoot?

“About a million,” Fitzgerald says.

But …

“I also hit a couple shots I really thought were great,” he adds. “I fell in love.”

That's putting it mildly.
