Golfweek Skills Challenge: Four NFL kickers face off in long-drive competition

Golfweek invited four professional football players to take part in the first ever Golfweek Skills Challenge.

Robbie Gould of the San Francisco 49ers, Mason Crosby of the Green Bay Packers, Brandon McManus of the Denver Broncos and Jake Elliott of the Philadelphia Eagles each battled it out driving, chipping and putting against one another.

Host Averee Dovsek guided the four through the challenge.

Up first: Driving.

The rules are easy, as the longest tee shot takes the prize in this category. Each player got three chances to hit the long ball, with the longest drive worth 16 points, second longest worth 12, third good for 8 points and last place getting four points.

Still to come: Chipping and putting.
