The most famous athlete in the Chicago area is arguably NBA legend, Michael Jordan. But former number 1 golfer in the world, Luke Donald, also makes his home in Chicago and through his wife’s friendship with MJ’s fiancee, Luke and MJ has gotten to know each other quite well recently! MJ’s love for golf is well known, famously showing up at the Ryder Cup and President Cup to show his support for the United States. With that being said, MJ and Luke were bound to play a few rounds together, with Luke stating he’s always “happy to empty MJ’s wallet!” But aside from taking MJ’s money, Luke has also been able to pick MJ’s brain a little bit.
Golf is as much mental as it is physical. MJ was one of the most mentally strong players to ever play in the NBA and as Luke said about MJ,“He’s good for the mind. He’s been making sure that I’m ready mentally. It’s been good to pick Michael’s brains and find out what he was thinking about when he was playing basketball. He’s always trying to play mind games. He doesn’t like to lose.” Hopefully, Luke will be able to bring his new mental approach to his 2013 season, starting this week at the Northern Trust Open, and bring home his first ever major championship as well!
