Andrew Whitworth, Marshall Faulk help USA win Icons Series golf event

Members of Team USA included Michael Phelps, J.R. Smith, Ben Roethlisberger, Golden Tate, Michael Strahan, Reggie Bush, and Michael Vick.

Andrew Whitworth is no longer competing on the football field, but that doesn’t mean he’s given up competition altogether. He and Rams legend Marshall Faulk helped Team USA win the inaugural Icons Series golf tournament, beating Team ROTW (Rest of the World) at Liberty National.

It was a two-day event that pitted some of the best athletes in the world against each other on the golf course. Members of Team USA included Michael Phelps, J.R. Smith, Ben Roethlisberger, Golden Tate, Michael Strahan, Reggie Bush, and Michael Vick.

The format was a Ryder Cup-style match-play event spread across two days. Whitworth and Faulk lost their singles matches, but they had more success in the doubles format. Whitworth and Robbie Gould won 1-up, and the team of Faulk and Strahan pushed their match.

This is just the first event of the Icons Series, which plans to play matches in various countries around the world.
