Retirement appears to be treating Nick Saban well.

The 72-year-old former Alabama coach played golf, along side Travis Scott and others at the Mr. October Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic.

Among those announced as participants by Golf Digest: Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Adrian Peterson, Jerry Rice, Terrell Owens, Rob Gronkowski, Joe Namath, Alex Rodriguez, Albert Pujols, Derek Jeter, Justin Verlander, Barry Bonds, Allen Iverson, Lil Wayne, Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Mackie, 50 Cent, Dave Chappelle, DJ Khaled, Morgan Wallen and more.

The event was held at the Floridian National Golf Club in Palm City, Florida. According to the report, Scott’s Cactus Jack Foundation collaborated with “Mr. October” Reggie Jackson.

Proceeds, per the report, go toward enhancing educational opportunities for underserved youth in science, technology, engineering and math.

“We take great pride in the fact that our STEM curriculum has reached over one million students,” Jackson said. “I want to thank Travis Scott for his shared and longstanding commitment to ensuring that no matter where children live, they should have access to quality learning environments.”
