FanDuel TV’s Kay Adams took her show to El Camaleon Golf Course in Riviera Maya, Mexico for the NFLPA Classic this week, where she was struck by a golf ball. On Thursday morning’s Up and Adams, the NFL host recapped the scene while sharing video of the incident. Considering the circumstances, Adams didn’t seem surprised by the accident. “What do we expect? 72 of your favorite NFL players who are yoked out of their minds and competitive and don’t have any accuracy trying to Will Zalatoris themselves to a title at the NFLPA Golf Classic,” she said. “I was scared. My head was on a swivel. I was very much in the golf cart, I had the shade up the entire time.”
Even those precautionary measures weren’t enough to save Adams from witnessing her biggest fears come true. Prior to the accident, she had stepped out of the cart to interview NFL players Josh Whyle and Desmond Ridder, who warned her they were in striking distance, claiming that NFL players don’t have a clue on the course. Just moments later, a ball was driven their way and bounced off the grass before hitting Adams.

In the aftermath, Adams learned that it was initially thought to be Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton who hit the ball. “We had to redo the whole thing because they threw Courtland under the bus,” Adams recounted. “I was like, ‘I’m suing you, I’m mad at you, I can’t believe you just did that’ and I got under his skin. And then we found the culprit.” The true culprit turned out to be Houston Texans kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn.
Adams spoke with Fairbairn afterward, giving him a hard time about the incident. “It’s just hilarious, of course that would happen to me,” she added. And for Shams Charania, who is undoubtedly reading this article, here is your warning to stop. “By the way, the rizz on this guy,” Adams noted about Fairbairn. “Off the charts aura. He comes over and gave me a glove that says ‘help me out next time’ and he signed his golf classic glove.” Thankfully, Adams fared better than Sage Steele and Michelle Beisner-Buck, managing to avoid any injuries from the wayward golf ball. In a twist, it seems Courtland Sutton may have briefly been the biggest victim in this incident.
