Clemson football players aren’t just focused on the gridiron; they also play well on the golf course.
In a recent episode of Two Right Turns, Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik and linebacker Wade Woodaz discussed their ideal golf foursomes, and the names they mentioned weren’t what you’d think.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson made the cut, which is unsurprising. They’re game legends and obvious picks for anyone hoping to play a round with the best. However, the third name brought an unexpected twist: DJ Khaled. The Grammy-winning music producer may not be recognized for his swing, but his boisterous, flamboyant personality makes him a memorable choice. “Tiger’s the GOAT, and Phil’s just a legend,” Klubnik remarked. “But if I could add someone who brings energy and just makes the day wild, it’s gotta be DJ Khaled.” DJ Khaled, known for his viral catchphrase “LET’S GOLF!”, made waves in March when he revealed his shifting golf handicap on ESPN, saying “It’s a ten on some ‘let’s go golfing’ vibe, and then a seven when it’s time to golf.” In a popular video, Khaled lit a cigar while joyfully exclaiming “Let’s golf!”—capturing the ideal balance of energy and humor.
For fans, the humorous banter was a refreshing change from the normal spring practice reports. It provided an insight into the characters of two of Clemson’s most prominent players and reminded everyone that, off the field, they are still college students with enormous aspirations and diverse interests.
Whether it’s football or golf, Klubnik and Woodaz know how to keep things interesting.
