JJ Watt spent the last decade dominating on the football field. The future Hall of Famer holds the record for most sacks in Houston Texans history. 

Now that his playing career is over, Watt is enjoying things other than football, like golf. PGA pro Jon Rahm lives in Scottsdale, presumably how he became close with Ertz and Watt.

Watt is close friends with former Arizona Cardinals teammate Zach Ertz and professional golfer Jon Rahm. With Rahm about to tee off at The Masters, Watt, and Ertz had a little fun with the golfer. 

The pair originally wished the golfer luck prior to his outing, but then, Ertz seemingly jinxed the golfer, if you believe in that sort of thing. 

"First hole green looks like a walk in the park," texted Ertz. 

Less than an hour later, Ertz texted Watt individually. 

"4 putt to start the round… not ideal," said Ertz. "Horrendous," proclaimed Watt. 

If you don't already know, Rahm would rebound from the poor start and win The Masters. In his victory speech, Rahm mentioned that "a close friend" had put a jinx on him. 

"Thank you, Zach. Don't ever do that again, please," joked Rahm. 

The win makes the second major victory of Rahm's career. 

Ertz and Watt are incredibly accomplished in their own right, with Watt collecting over 100 career sacks and five First-team All-Pro selection. 

Ertz won Super Bowl LII as a member of the Philadelphia Eagles 

Congratulations to Jon Rahm for his Masters victory!
