After his team’s season concluded, Austin Reaves has taken up golf.
The Korn Ferry Tour revealed on social media that the Los Angeles Lakers guard will be trying to qualify for their tournament, the Visit Knoxville Open, and shared a video of Reaves demonstrating a sharp golf swing.
Reaves is set to participate in a qualifying round for the tournament, where he must place in the top four to compete in the official Visit Knoxville Open this weekend. The event takes place annually in Knoxville, Tenn., and is a traditional stroke-play competition with a total prize fund of $1 million (last year’s winner took home $180,000).
