[Saba Sports News] Ryan Whitney shared his experience playing golf with Michael Jordan, highlighting Jordan’s competitive nature and trash-talking prowess.
During their game, Jordan remained silent until he won decisively on the 36th hole, where he delivered a sharp-tongued remark to Whitney, who was left astonished and humbled, reflecting on the surreal and intimidating aura of competing against Jordan.
“He doesn’t say a word to me, we get to the 17, the 35th hole of the day,” Whitney said. “It’s a par 5, I’m on in two. He’s dead, like the guy’s short game was insane… Hits this flop shot, like insane. I putt it right inside him. He makes his birdie putt, I miss. First thing he said all day, and he goes, ‘That’s right, bitch.’ I’m like, ‘Oh my god.'”
“So, then we go 36, he beats me,” Whitney continued. “… I finish the last hole. Another press, lose that hole too. He’s like, ‘A scratch golfer? Bitch, you couldn’t scratch my wife’s ass.'”
Whitney had no comeback so just left quietly after paying up.
“I just left. I just paid him 10 grand and left,” Whitney stated. “I felt this big. I’m like this guy, he’s pumping rap tunes the whole time that say his name in the song. I am like ‘What planet am I on right now?’”
This encounter underscores Jordan’s legendary competitiveness, extending from the basketball court to the golf course.
