Former tennis player Mardy Fish has opened up about a memorable golf outing with Michael Jordan, revealing that he withdrew a massive amount of cash before the round. Fish said he came ready for a high-stakes day, a sign of the kind of betting atmosphere often linked to Jordan on the course.
Fish may be one of the best-known names in celebrity golf today, but he made clear that Jordan still sets the standard when it comes to legendary gambling stories from casual rounds. The anecdote adds to Jordan’s long-running reputation for turning golf into a fiercely competitive, and often expensive, experience.
The story also shows how seriously Fish approached the chance to play with the basketball icon. Rather than treating it like a relaxed celebrity outing, he prepared for the possibility that the match could involve serious money.
While Fish has earned his own status in celebrity golf circles, his retelling reinforces the idea that Jordan remains the biggest figure in the sport’s off-course lore. Even years later, stories about playing golf with Jordan continue to stand out because of the mix of competition, confidence and big-money legend surrounding him.
