Baker Mayfield's wife shares snaps of their American Century Championship outing

Earlier this month, Baker Mayfield attended the 2025 American Century Championship, and his wife shared a glimpse of the outing on her Instagram account. She posted several snaps of him playing golf last week and also a few pictures of them enjoying some downtime in Lake Tahoe. She included the caption:

"@acchampionship - one of the best weekends of the year & never enough photos! ⛳️🛥️🍺"

Emily shared a group picture with her husband in the first snap, posing on a boat. She wore a white dress while her husband donned a black T-shirt and white shorts. In another snap, she shared a romantic picture of her kissing her husband, followed by some more snaps of their outing.

Mayfield, however, struggled with his game at the American Century Championship, finishing in 83rd place.

This week, Mayfield started training camp with the Buccaneers, and on Friday, he shared a few pictures from training.

"Just a bunch of guys being dudes," he wrote in the caption.

Mayfield is gearing up for his third season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and broke 4,500 passing yards last campaign.

The Bucs qualified for the playoffs, but lost 23-20 to the Washington Commanders in the wild-card round. Tampa Bay will kick off its season against the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 7.
