Super Bowl Week? More Like Super Shot Week for Travis Kelce! While the Kansas City Chiefs are usually gearing up for the biggest game of the year, this February has offered tight end Travis Kelce a different kind of thrill. With an unusual amount of downtime, Kelce traded his football helmet for a golf club at the WM Phoenix Open pro-am on Wednesday, and boy, did he make an impression!
But here's where it gets truly exciting... On the iconic par-3 16th hole, a stadium-like atmosphere buzzing with energy, Kelce delivered a tee shot so precise it nearly went straight into the cup! The crowd erupted, and the three-time Super Bowl champion didn't stop there. He confidently sank the subsequent birdie putt, earning himself the coveted WM gold chain. What followed was pure rockstar flair: Kelce transformed his putter into an electric guitar, a celebration that sent waves of excitement through the already boisterous fans at TPC Scottsdale.
And this is the part most people miss... The impressive display didn't go unnoticed by his teammates. Even from home, quarterback Patrick Mahomes took to X (formerly Twitter) to send his love and acknowledge his favorite pass-catcher's performance. It's a testament to their strong bond, especially considering the Chiefs' uncharacteristic 6-11 record in 2025, which led to them missing the playoffs for the first time in Mahomes' career.
Now, at 36 years old, Kelce is facing a dual challenge: not only is he reportedly planning a wedding with global superstar Taylor Swift, but he also has a significant career decision to make about playing next season. While Mahomes would undoubtedly welcome him back to the gridiron, the allure of the golf course, as demonstrated by his WM Phoenix Open performance, might be a powerful contender. Only time will tell which path he chooses.
For those eager to follow the professional action, tee times, groupings, and viewing information for the WM Phoenix Open's first round are available. You can catch the excitement unfold on Golf Channel's coverage, beginning Thursday at 3:30 p.m.
