NFLPA President JC Tretter had a vision in mind for the players of the league to promote themselves while enjoying another game they love, golf. He created the NFLPA Golf Classic, which had it’s inaugural event last year. There were 48 players involved and in 2024 that number has risen to 64.
There will be 16 teams with captains for each and Detroit’s own Aidan Hutchinson will be one of them.
His team will include Trey McBride of the Cardinals, Ross Matiscik of the Jaguars, and Tommy Townsend of the Texans.
This fearsome group is taking its talent from the field to the course 😈 #NFLPAClassic

Other notable captains include Joel Bitonio, Austin Ekeler, Marlon Humphrey, Von Miller, and Kayvon Thibodeaux. Miller and his team won the inaugural event last year in the Bahamas.
The event is exclusive to NFLPA members; thus, no media or outside presence will be allowed.
