Gruden Grinder

Caleb Williams is so competitive he made a Chicago Topgolf stay open until 1 a.m. so he could finish his game

BREAKING NEWS BULLETIN: We have a new golf guy blooming in Chi-town. After being spotted following Jordan Spieth’s group at The Players back in March, new Bears QB Caleb Williams has reportedly been grinding at Chicago-area Topgolfs until the wee hours of the morning.

That’s according to tight end Cole Kmet, who told reporters at mandatory minicamp on Tuesday that he got a glimpse of Williams’ competitive streak when this year’s number-one-overall pick recently convinced a Windy City Topgolf location to stay open until 1 a.m. just so he could finish his game.

You gotta feel for the employees here, who just wanted to mop the floors and go home, but we can’t fault Williams’ commitment to the grind. Let’s just hope he tipped them handsomely with a little slice of that NIL pie.

Unfortunately for Williams, despite extending their game well past midnight, Team Kmet still walked away with the win. It sounds like no. 18 still has to iron out a few kinks in his swing, but once that happens, we have plenty of great local tracks to recommend.
