A woman who went viral for turning heads at the 2023 Masters has now become an NFL cheerleader.

Aaliyah Kikumoto, who attracted attention for standing behind the tee box at the 16th hole at Augusta National Golf Club, has revealed that she is now a cheerleader for the Miami Dolphins.

‘Still feels surreal getting to say… I AM A MIAMI DOLPHINS CHEERLEADER,’ Kikumoto posted to her Instagram account.

Kikumoto, who was a cheerleader in college at Texas Tech, went on to thank three colleagues ‘for believing in me and giving me this opportunity!’

‘I can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings and to represent this organization both on and off the field,’ she added.

‘This is seriously a dream come true. I’m so grateful for everyone who has supported me along the way and for the opportunity to continue doing what I love the most.’

Aaliyah is following in the footsteps of her mother, AJ Kikumoto, who is a former dancer for the Denver Nuggets.

Kikumoto first gained attention after cameras caught her behind the tee box at the 16th hole while Jon Rahm and Brooks Koepka were hitting in 2023. 

A clip of the broadcast went viral on TikTok as a user wrote, ‘Somehow I feel in love with someone I only saw for 15 seconds.’

Kikumoto saw the post and commented, ‘Thts me’ with a laughing crying emoji.

She also re-posted the video to her Instagram page with the caption, ‘Thank you Ho. 16 #themastersgirls.’ 

Shortly after The Masters, she became a model for BSX Media and served as an ambassador for Celsius Energy Drink.
