Travis Kelce’s Tipsy Tahoe Tee Time
Okay, but like… why is this even a thing? Travis Kelce hit the Lake Tahoe links for the American Century Championship and, spoiler alert, his golf game looked a bit more tailgate than tour-level. The Kansas City Chiefs superstar joined his big brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, and former Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield for a weekend of big swings, cold brews, and viral bloopers.
Travis teed off early Saturday to a buzzing crowd only to turn cheers into collective groans as his drive drifted into rough terrain. Jason followed, blasting a shot that veered slightly right while he joked “watch out” to onlookers—though laughter made it clear he was pulling their leg. Observers at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course recalled similar moments from last year when Travis’s shank ricocheted off a fan—thankfully causing nothing more serious than a startled selfie.
As the round warmed up, the real highlight arrived when Kelce and Mayfield seized the moment for an impromptu beer shotgun contest. Footage shows Travis chugging down a brew, only to spray some suds back onto the green mid-“cheers.” He laughed it off and quipped that he hoped no cameras caught that little oops. Sorry, TK, TMZ had the angles covered. Jason seemed more practiced at this part of the routine, downing beers like they were halftime refreshments during last season’s NFL broadcasts.
Despite the flubs, the trio’s camaraderie was undeniable. Between sips and swipes, they traded barbs—Jason teasing Travis about his gridiron feats, and Mayfield joking that Kelce’s swing looked like a dance move gone wrong. Golf purists might have cringed, but fans on social feeds ate up every off-tempo drive and frothy miscue.
Notably absent from the Tahoe shoreline was Taylor Swift, meaning this was strictly a bromantic brewfest rather than a celebrity-plus-Swiftie sighting. For Kelce, who’s accustomed to spotlight moments on the football field, this golf outing offered a reminder that even elite athletes can have off days—especially when beer is in play.
The American Century Championship is known for mixing pro athletes, retired legends, and media personalities in a low-stakes, high-entertainment format. Yet this weekend’s stars weren’t the Camaro-driving icons or broadcasting legends. Instead it was three NFL personalities reminding viewers that sometimes the biggest highlight is simply having fun, even if the highlight reel is more blooper than brag reel.
Okay cool, so like, yeah, that happened.
