Patrick Mahomes Sr., father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is heading to Las Vegas this week to support his son’s charity golf event, but it wasn’t a simple trip to plan. Mahomes Sr., a former MLB pitcher, has been under strict probation conditions since pleading guilty to his third DWI charge last September, following an arrest in February 2024—just days before the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win over the San Francisco 49ers. His legal troubles mean he must seek court permission for out-of-state travel, and this week, he got the green light to attend Patrick Mahomes II’s 15 and the Mahomies Foundation Vegas Golf Classic.
TMZ Sports reported that authorities in Texas approved Mahomes Sr.’s request to travel to Vegas, where the Chiefs star is hosting a fundraising event at Shadow Creek Golf Course starting today, May 14, 2025. The 54-year-old will be in Sin City through Sunday, May 19, and promised to submit a urine test upon his return, a condition tied to his plea agreement. This isn’t the first time Mahomes Sr. has had to navigate these restrictions—in March, he needed a judge’s approval to attend an autograph show in Minnesota.
The event itself is a big deal for Patrick Mahomes’ 15 and the Mahomies Foundation, which focuses on improving children’s lives through health, wellness, and support for underserved communities. The foundation encourages kids to read 15 minutes a day, volunteer 15 hours with the Youth Volunteer Corps, and supports 15 youth charitable initiatives. Held at the renowned Shadow Creek Golf Course—a par-72, 7,560-yard Tom Fazio design known for its lush desert landscape—the weekend includes luxury stays at the Bellagio, a pairings party, gala, and awards party, with each threesome paired with a celebrity guest.
Mahomes Sr.’s presence adds a personal touch to the event, but his journey to get there underscores the consequences of his past behavior. His DWI plea last year came after a history of legal issues, and the strict probation terms—like travel approvals and drug tests—reflect the court’s oversight. Over Super Bowl weekend in 2024, he also stirred headlines by planning a boxing match with fellow ex-MLB pitcher John Rocker to drum up interest for Barstool’s Rough ‘N’ Rowdy brawl. The fight was scrapped after Mahomes Sr.’s family, likely including Patrick, felt it would be a bad look for their image.
For Mahomes Sr., being at his son’s side for this charity event is a chance to support a worthy cause while navigating the restrictions of his probation. For Patrick, it’s another opportunity to give back through his foundation, which has already made a big impact—last year’s Aloha Golf Classic in Hawaii raised significant funds, and this Vegas event promises to be just as impactful. As the Mahomes family tees off for charity, fans will be watching to see how much they raise for kids in need—and hoping Mahomes Sr. stays on the right path.
