Aaron Hicks Swings for the Fences on the Golf Course

Aaron Hicks, once a notable outfielder for the New York Yankees, is now showcasing his talents on the golf course. As of January 31, 2026, Hicks is competing in the celebrity division of the LPGA Tournament of Champions, held at Lake Nona in Florida. He secured a commanding lead by shooting a 66 on Friday, putting him two strokes ahead of the field.

Hicks' powerful game is evident in his metrics, reportedly averaging a clubhead speed of 129 miles per hour and a ball speed of 192 miles per hour. His proficiency is further supported by his marriage to former LPGA player Cheyenne Woods. At 36 years old, Hicks has no further MLB career prospects, though the Yankees are still contractually obligated to pay him a final $1 million buyout in 2026.
