Eagles' Jalen Hurts wouldn't golf with Obama and made a disputed excuse why: 'he didn't want these problems'

 Fox News senior correspondent Mike Tobin has the latest on the former president's campaign for Vice President Harris in Wisconsin on 'Special Report.'

Philadelphia Eagles star quarterback Jalen Hurts addressed why he did not join a round of golf with former president Obama, Eagles general manager Jeffrey Lurie and teammate Saquon Barkley on Tuesday. 

Hurts claimed during a press conference on Thursday that the reason he didn't golf was because of a clause in his contract that prohibited the quarterback from playing golf. 

"I can't golf right now. By contract, I can't golf," Hurts told reporters.

However, no such clause actually exists in his five-year, $255 million contract, according to reports. An Eagles spokesperson told The Philadelphia Inquirer that there is an unofficial agreement between Hurts and Lurie in which the quarterback doesn't become "golf-obsessed."

Hurts has been seen swinging a golf club since signing his contract in April 2023. 

A team video shows Hurts golfing at the Eagles' facility in front of his teammates in August of 2023. Hurts' swing was so bad, that it drew the mockery of his own teammates.

But prior to that, the PGA Tour posted a TikTok video of Hurts golfing ambidextrously at Topgolf.
