WATCH: Georgia football coach Kirby Smart pranked with exploding golf ball at Peach Bowl Challenge

Defending National Champion head coach Kirby Smart of Georgia was pranked with an exploding golf ball at the 2022 Peach Bowl Challenge charity golf tournament.

Smart is the most recent college football head coach to get pranked at the annual event, joining the ranks of Dabo Swinney and Dan Mullen, among others.

Smart is one of 22 current or former college football coaches competing Tuesday

at the 15th annual event for a share of the $330,000 charity purse at Reynolds Lake Oconee outside Atlanta. 

The nation’s premier collegiate coach golf event is played in Two Man Scramble format with Stableford scoring in an 18-hole tournament. This year’s event will also feature a skills challenge that includes Long Drive and Closest to the Pin competitions within the round. 

Proceeds from the event benefit charitable foundations selected by the coaches. The first-place duo will split $60,000 between the two winning coaches’ charities, while the remainder of the purse will be divided based on the finish of the other teams.

Since its creation in 2007, the event has contributed a total of $8.7 million in scholarship and charity, helping make the Peach Bowl college football’s most charitable bowl organization.
