Watch Bo Jackson win a long drive contest by crushing a golf ball 331 yards

April 28, 2015

Apparently, we can add another athletic activity to Bo Jackson's impressive list: Bo knows long-drive contests.

Jackson participated in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl Challenge golf event Monday and stole the show with a mighty blow reminiscent of the legendary home runs he used to hit. Auburn football coach Gus Malzahn also won a closest-to-the-pin contest, but c'mon, this day was all about BO. Here's the video:

Holy clubhead speed! Jackson didn't give much of a reaction, but his winning drive was measured at 331.5 yards. Former NBA-player-turned-analyst Jon Barry finished second at 318.4 yards.

Back to Bo, the 52-year-old former two-sport star appeared in a recent Nike golf commercial with Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Michelle Wie and Charles Barkley. Nike could save a few bucks on its next golf ad and just run footage of Monday's contest.
