Travis Kelce electrifies the crowd at the WM Phoenix Open with an impressive tee shot and a birdie on the 16th hole, creating quite the buzz among fans – and it’s Super Bowl week!
That's right! As the Kansas City Chiefs gear up for the much-anticipated big game, Kelce is making the most of his lighter February schedule, which he hasn’t experienced in years. This past Wednesday, he participated in the pro-am event at the WM Phoenix Open, showcasing his skills by nearly sinking a perfect shot on the par-3 16th hole.
The three-time Super Bowl champion, who also happens to be engaged to pop superstar Taylor Swift, landed his tee shot just feet away from the hole. He followed this up by sinking the birdie putt, earning himself the coveted gold chain from the WM. In a moment that thrilled the already enthusiastic audience at TPC Scottsdale, Kelce celebrated by transforming his putter into an electric guitar, ramping up the excitement even further.
Kelce's performance didn’t go unnoticed; even his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, shared his admiration on social media, letting his favorite tight end know he was cheering him on from home. After a remarkable run where the Chiefs clinched the AFC title in five out of six seasons, they faced a tough year in 2025, finishing with a disappointing 6-11 record and missing the playoffs for the first time in Mahomes' career.
At 36, Kelce not only has plans for an upcoming wedding with Taylor Swift but also faces the crucial decision of whether to continue playing next season. While Mahomes is undoubtedly hoping for his return, the allure of the golf course could prove to be quite tempting. Only time will reveal what Kelce decides.
