In the United States, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce participated in the Pro-Am of the Waste Management Phoenix Open on February 4, 2026, following the team's early offseason after missing the playoffs for the first time in a decade. Kelce played the front nine alongside world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler and the back nine with Brooks Koepka. During the round, Kelce showcased a spectacular tee shot on the iconic par-3 16th hole, landing just feet from the pin, which led to a birdie and ultimately won him the Waste Management gold chain. The event was filled with excitement as spectators rallied around the course, creating an electrifying atmosphere. His moment was captured on video, which sparked considerable attention and led to a viral reaction on social media. Patrick Mahomes, Kelce's teammate, expressed his excitement online. However, what initially caught the attention of fans was whether Kelce's wins in golf hinted at his NFL future, prompting Mahomes to clarify that his comments were focused on golf. Additionally, Kelce shared insights about advice he received from Taylor Swift before the event, emphasizing the importance of having fun while competing.
