Pat Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, just got rare court permission to travel, and it’s all for his son.
Despite being on probation following a DWI case, the elder Mahomes was granted a temporary travel pass to leave Texas. The reason? To attend a charity golf event featuring his son. Normally, Pat Mahomes Sr. cannot leave the state without explicit court approval. This time, the judge allowed the exception, letting him cheer on the NFL star.
Pat Mahomes Sr. has a sports legacy of his own. Before his son became a football icon, he pitched professionally in Major League Baseball. His career spanned over a decade, from 1992 to 2003, playing for several teams. He spent most of that time with the Minnesota Twins, earning respect as a reliable pitcher.
Off the field, the Mahomes family dynamic has its history. Pat Mahomes Sr. and Randi Martin divorced in 2006 but have remained friendly. They co-parented their sons, Patrick and Jackson, through their rise into the public eye. This is rarely seen, especially in separation cases like this. However, both brothers now seem closer to their mother. Just months ago, Patrick and Jackson gifted Randi a mansion in Texas, a gesture that made headlines.
Patrick Mahomes And Chiefs To Play Against Chargers In Season Opener
Meanwhile, Patrick Mahomes is focused on preparing for the upcoming NFL season. At only 29 years old, he already owns three Super Bowl rings. Last season, Mahomes and the Chiefs chased an ambitious three-peat. That dream fell short when the Philadelphia Eagles won the title in February with a 40–22 victory.
Now, the quarterback is ready for a fresh start. The Chiefs will kick off the new season against the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil. Their matchup will take place at the Corinthians Arena, marking the NFL league’s global expansion.
Kansas City topped the AFC West last season with a 15–2 record, while the Chargers finished just behind with 11 wins. The Chargers reached the Wild Card round but were knocked out by the Houston Texans with a 32–12 loss.
Though the court pass may seem minor, it speaks volumes about the elder Mahomes’ effort to support his son, despite legal constraints. This shows the love he has for his son.
For fans of the Chiefs and the Mahomes family, it’s a rare glimpse into the personal lives behind the professional game.
