Russell Wilson’s golf cart flipped into a bunker while he was playing at the Arrowhead Golf Course on Saturday. Thankfully no one was injured, including the quarterback.
Teammate Justin Simmons, an All-Pro safety, was behind the wheel when the cart careened into the sand trap, taking Wilson down with him.
According to an eyewitness’s account, the group was likely trying to track down Wilson’s ball when the incident occurred, something they’d reportedly been doing a lot throughout the course to that point.
Although the incident could have been very bad, it appears as if both men have had a good sense of humor about it, with Simmons saying it was “not my best moment” and Russ tweeting the reply seen below.
After a down season in 2022 for Wilson where he threw for a career-low 16 touchdowns with 3,524 passing yards over 15 games in his first year with the Broncos, maybe the incident will set him right ahead of the 2023 campaign with new head coach Sean Payton at the helm.
Confirmed via sources that this is TRUE.
Russell Wilson flipped a golf cart into a bunker at Arrowhead Golf Course yesterday.
No one was hurt. All is well.
The guess here is he didn’t see the bunker while looking for his ball and went right in 😂🤣@DenverSportsCom pic.twitter.com/repHtGY9D0
