A casual day on the golf course has turned into the latest viral Travis Kelce moment—and not for the reason he’d probably prefer.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end found himself at the center of social media chatter after footage from the Pebble Beach Pro-Am golf tournament surfaced showing one of his shots veering off course and appearing to strike a woman nearby on Friday, February 13.
Kelce immediately shifted from competitor to concerned bystander after the ball made contact, walking over to check on the fan. In video from the scene, he can be heard asking if she was okay.
The woman—later identified as Edenne Flinn of Salinas, California—appeared to reassure him that she was fine. According to reports from local news outlets, Kelce stuck around to make it right, signing an autograph for Flinn before play resumed.
The tight end ultimately withdrew from the remainder of the hole, and his team finished the two-day event at 10-under par.
The moment also marked a pattern that’s hard to ignore. Friday’s misfire was reportedly the third time the tight end has unintentionally hit a spectator during a golf outing.
Just last year at the American Century Championship in Stateline, Nevada, Kelce had two separate errant shots in a single day that struck fans.
The viral golf clip comes as retirement rumors surrounding the 36-year-old continue to build.
After 13 seasons in the league, Kelce’s NFL future has been a hot topic—especially following a challenging 2025–2026 season that saw quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffer a season-ending injury and the Chiefs miss the playoffs for the first time in a decade.
While Kelce has remained thoughtful but noncommittal about what comes next, his mom, Donna Kelce, recently offered her perspective.
“I just want him to do what he feels comfortable doing,” she told TMZ in a video released before the incident on Friday.
“He’s gotta talk to people in his life to decide what he wants to do.” She added, “So I’m not sure. We’ll see what happens!”
Kelce signed a two-year extension in 2024 that runs through March 2026, but speculation hasn’t slowed.
For now, whether he’s navigating defensive lines or tricky fairways, the biggest decision of his career still lies ahead.
