Jim McMahon plays Phoenix Open pro-am in bare feet
No one is better suited to play at the Phoenix Open than Jim McMahon.
With the Super Bowl in the same city on the same weekend, Wednesday’s pro-am at the Waste Management Phoenix Open was loaded with celebrity and athlete amateurs. Tim Tebow, Urban Meyer, Jerome Bettis, Marcus Allen, Ben Roethlisberger, Emmitt Smith, Chris Berman and Randy Johnson were just some of the many athletes populating each group.
But no one espouses the ideals of the Phoenix Open better than Jim McMahon, so it should come as no surprise that the punky QB played his round in barefoot. He’s shown up to play with no shoes before, but this a pretty major and official setting. There he was, however, clutching beers and stomping around the 16th hole and the desert with no shoes.
And shortly after McMahon came through, Tiger Woods, playing this event for the first time in 15 years, stepped to the 16th tee box with the skyboxes and grandstands almost at their 20,000 capacity. Woods missed the green, and was given the usual treatment for such a misfire.
