Jerry Rice still has the wheels.
The Hall of Fame receiver attempted to chase down a heckler who yelled “Fore” after he swung during the American Century Championship last week in South Lake Tahoe in Nevada.
Rice, 63, ran in the direction of fans while yelling: “Which one?”
In a clip that has since gone viral, Rice lined up to drive when an indecipherable comment could be overheard. Moments later after his swung, an off-screen fan screamed, “Fore.”
It’s uncertain when this moment occurred during the celebrity event from July 8-12, per dailyclubgolf.com.
Brown looked back in the direction of the fans, then back to the course and ultimately decided he would not let this one go.
The 49ers legend slowly walked toward the fans, yelling, “Hey. Yo. Hey. Hey,” while one fan cheered him on, saying: “Go get ’em, Jerry.”
Rice ducked under a boundary marker and then began running after the fans, yelling, “Which one? Which one?” while he still held his golf club.
One individual responded, “Green and blue” while fans around the individual filming the scene started muttering and all eyes turned toward Rice.
A group of fans began walking that way, and it appeared that Rice eventually caught up to an individual/group, although the person taking the video remained a good distance away.
Rice eventually walked back to the course while fans greeted him like a champion, clapping and yelling positive remarks like, “Yeah, Jerry,” “We love you” and “We got your back.”
He waved to the fans while he walked back and seemed to be smiling by that point.
This is not the first time Rice has encountered issues at the American Century Championship.
He told a reporter, “I will f–k you up,” after being asked in 2024 about the Chiefs’ receivers during a practice round.
Rice, the NFL’s all-time receiving yards leader with 22,895 and three-time Super Bowl champion, finished 42nd among 90 competitors, according to dailyclubgolf.com.
Former tennis player Mardy Fish won the event with a score of 72, while Steph Curry finished third.
