Jalen Hurts Banned from Golf by Contract Clause

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts missed the opportunity to play golf with former President Barack Obama due to a clause in his $255 million contract that prohibits him from golfing. Hurts was invited to Merion Golf Club, where he accompanied teammates Saquon Barkley and team owner Jeffrey Lurie as they played with Obama. Hurts expressed that spending time with Obama was a blessing and described him as 'kind of like an uncle figure.' While he couldn't participate in the game, Hurts appreciated the experience and noted that he had taken up tennis instead, as he was not allowed to golf. Barkley called the outing 'one of the coolest experiences' of his life. Hurts, who has always wanted to meet Obama, reflected on the positive impact such encounters have on him.
