As the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks gear up for Super Bowl LX, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is making headlines of his own—this time on the golf course. Taking a break from football as he considers retirement, Kelce showcased his golfing skills at the Annexus Pro-Am held at TPC Scottsdale, Arizona.
Kelce’s Impressive Performance
The 36-year-old athlete wasn’t alone in this competitive offseason event. He joined fellow NFL stars from the Arizona Cardinals, including Trey McBride, Budda Baker, and Zaven Collins, along with athletes from various sports such as MLB stars Mookie Betts, Alex Bregman, Cal Raleigh, football icon Carli Lloyd, and Olympic swimming champion Michael Phelps.
Kelce displayed remarkable talent during the tournament, particularly on the 16th hole, where he landed his shot merely inches from the hole. This impressive feat did not go unnoticed, as it was shared in a highlight video by the Chiefs.
Social Media Reactions
Fans and sports enthusiasts took to social media to express their admiration and light-hearted comments about Kelce’s performance. Here are some reactions:
