The world, and more specifically the Kansas City Chiefs, are awaiting tight end Travis Kelce's decision on whether he will return to the gridiron next year.
But while pundits and insiders volley around ideas about what the legendary tight end might do, he spent the past week on a different kind of competitive field: the golf course.
Kelce went from the NFL to the PGA in the lead-up to Super Bowl LX, the first one he and the Chiefs won't be playing in since 2022. With the extra time off, he entered the WM Phoenix Open pro-am this past Wednesday, wanting to show off his stick game to the fans in attendance.

Instead of bashing into linebackers in the middle of the field for a contested catch, Kelce was bombing balls from the tee.

More news: Chiefs’ Travis Kelce Addresses Timeline for Making Retirement Decision
What has become a tradition during the Super Bowl weekend, the Waste Management tournament became a party for fans and the celebrities who show up. Instead of the general prim-and-proper atmosphere expected at most PGA Tour events, it's one of the few where a few buttons can be loosened during play for fans and players alike.
Kelce not only has his retirement decision ahead of him, but he is also set to marry musical icon Taylor Swift this summer.
When asked what advice his partner gave him before stepping out onto the golf course, Kelce opened up.
"Just go and have fun, sweetie," he said. "That's the only advice she can give on a day like today."
Her advice paid off in spades, as Kelce made the shot of the pro-am on the 16th hole.
He smashed the ball and rolled it only a few feet away from the hole, with the commentator saying that Swift would be writing a song about the beauty of that drive.
