Travis Kelce Nearly Aces Iconic 16th at Phoenix Open Pro-Am as Mahomes Clarifies Viral Tweet

The golf cameo arrives as he weighs retirement, with Kansas City awaiting a decision before the new league year in mid-March.

Overview

  • Kelce stuck his tee shot to within a few feet on TPC Scottsdale’s par-3 16th and received the event’s gold WM chain after making birdie.
  • He played the front nine with world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and the back nine with Brooks Koepka during Wednesday’s Annexus Pro-Am.
  • Patrick Mahomes posted an excited message about Kelce, then quickly clarified he was celebrating the golf shot rather than any NFL decision.
  • Kelce has not announced whether he will return for the 2026 NFL season, keeping his future with the Chiefs undecided.
  • Chiefs owner Clark Hunt has said the team hopes Kelce returns, and a decision is expected ahead of roster and cap deadlines tied to the mid-March league year.
