This offseason won't have the same type of suspense or drama as the last for Travis Kelce; at least it doesn't appear that way. Last spring, Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs were coming off of a crushing Super Bowl loss. While Kelce's decision to come back wasn't too difficult, he took a while to make it.

This time around, Kelce has already mentioned that he wants to play if he feels he can contribute to the team. The Chiefs will certainly need him following a 6-11 season. While official word on Kelce's return for 2026 hasn't come yet, Kelce is trying his hand at another spot in the meantime.

Kelce's spot was announced by the tournament chairman, Jason Eisenberg. Pro-Am tournaments are a way for celebrities and athletes from other sports to share the course with professional golfers, in a cross-culture event. Many fans look forward to these types of events, and Kelce surely won't be out of place.

The tight end has taken part in similar tournaments, including the American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe last summer. Kelce's love for golf was also apparent when he made a cameo appearance in "Happy Gilmore 2".

Kelce is certainly using his time off of football to do things he enjoys. He's spending time with Taylor Swift, crushing it on his "New Heights" podcast, and golfing.
