Travis Scott, Nick Saban play golf together at celebrity golf classic
Travis Scott and Nick Saban were two of the many A-list names on hand for the 2024 edition of the Mr. October Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic.
Held in the Floridian National Golf Club in Palm City, Florida, Scott’s Cactus Jack Foundation collaborated with Reggie Jackson, affectionately named Mr. October for his prowess during the MLB postseason, in helping up together this epic lineup — which included the former Alabama Crimson Tide head coach.
Scott and Saban were pictured together on the course in a photo that you have to see to believe:
Those at the event included Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, Derek Jeter, Justin Verlander, Barry Bonds, Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Adrian Peterson, Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, Rob Gronkowski, Joe Namath, Allen Iverson, Lil Wayne, Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Mackie, 50 Cent, Dave Chappelle, DJ Khaled, Morgan Wallen and more, according to Golf Digest.
“We take great pride in the fact that our STEM curriculum has reached over one million students,” says Jackson of the Mr. October Foundation, via Golf Digest’s report. “I want to thank Travis Scott for his shared and longstanding commitment to ensuring that no matter where children live, they should have access to quality learning environments.”
According to their mission statement, Jackson’s Mr. October Foundation focuses on improving STEM education and workforce pipeline for underserved youth. Our goal is to inform and inspire kids in the areas of engineering, technology, manufacturing, medical and the trades while focusing on skill development and employability.
All proceeds from the event will go toward enhancing opportunities for youth to further study subjects such as science, technology, engineering and math.
Saban is no stranger to the golf course, however. In fact, he recently purchased a 6,200-square-foot house in Jupiter, Florida — where several of golf’s royalty lives. Tiger Woods and Rickie Fowler live in the same area, as well as Rory McIlroy, Patrick Cantlay and many others.
It was no secret that when Saban wasn’t winning on the gridiron, he loved to spend time on the golf course to wind down. An incredible story told by a former Alabama staffer Tyler Siskey revealed the lengths that Saban would go just to make a tee time during the Crimson Tide’s season — just adding to the lore of Saban’s legacy.
Whether he plans on joining the prestigious — and now local — Bear’s Club, Jupiter Hills Club, or the Medalist Golf Club in his retirement remains to be seen.
