Travis Kelce Helps Injured Spectator After His Golf Ball Strikes Her at ACC Tournament… See more
Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce were competing at the 2024 American Century Championship in Nevada
A spectator at a celebrity golf tournament got caught in the crosshairs after Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce took a big swing.
Kelce — alongside his brother Jason, WWE star Mike “The Miz” Mizanin and many others — began his first round of the 2024 American Century Championship, a celebrity tournament benefitting a number of charities, at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course on Friday, July 12. The tight end, 34, was on hole 16 of the Lake Tahoe course when he went for a big drive, and hit a fan in the process.
The fan, who appeared to be a woman in her 20s, was struck in the back of the head. An eyewitness said streaks of blood could be seen through her blonde hair. Paramedics quickly arrived on the scene and rendered aid as she sat on the ground. After a few minutes, the woman was able to stand up again.
Kelce could be seen going up to the fan after his swing, making the long walk down the course to check on her before quipping that the least he could do was take a picture with her after the hit.
Jason could also be seen approaching the fan to make sure she was alright, and the woman joked to the Eagles alum that she wasn’t sure if the ball was hit by him or his brother. Paramedics later transported her off of the course, and the tournament resumed.
Just last week, Travis and Jason joked about what they might do if they were to hit a bystander with a ball during the celebrity tournament during their most recent episode of their New Heights podcast.
