Football’s most celebrated siblings, Travis and Jason Kelce, showcased their skills off the gridiron on Friday, teeing off at the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament. The brothers drew a crowd of enthusiastic fans as they navigated the course at Edgewood Tahoe Resort.
The Kelces were among a stellar lineup of sports stars, including several NFL rivals, such as Aaron Rodgers, Josh Allen, Derek Carr, and Baker Mayfield.

For the initial round, the Kelces were paired with WWE celebrity The Miz. Travis, a star for the Kansas City Chiefs, made an impressive start, accidentally striking a fan in the arm with his first tee shot, despite claiming a golf handicap of around seven or eight. Meanwhile, his older brother, Jason, showcased his power by winning the long drive contest before the tournament, outdriving everyone with a 322-yard tee shot.
Jason, who recently retired, shared his secret to success on the golf course: “There’s a point of an overturn. Usually, two to three [beers] over the course of the round—that’s my sweet spot. Once I’m over two to three, the game goes downhill fast. But there’s a sweet spot where I play significantly better. So, the swing lube is real.”
