Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will be making his fourth consecutive appearance at the celebrity golf tournament American Century Championship in Lake Tahoe, Nevada next month from July 10-14. However, this year he will have some special company on the course - his older brother Jason Kelce.
For the first time, Travis will be teaming up with his brother Jason, an NFL center who spent his entire career with the Philadelphia Eagles, at theACC. Tournament spokesman Phil Weidinger confirmed that the Kelce brothers will be playing together.
"This will be the first time Travis and Jason have teed it up side by side at a tournament," said Weidinger. "I'm sure there will be some friendly sibling rivalry out there on the green."
Taylor Swift is currently on her international "Eras" tour and has concerts scheduled in Zurich and Milan during the dates of the ACC tournament, while the Kelce brothers are looking forward to competing as a team.
"Taylor Swift will be performing her summer concert tour in Europe at that time, so do no ask me that question," joked Weidinger, implying fans had been inquiring about Swift's participation.
Past participant and Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes is also notably absent from this year's ACC field. However, 88 other celebrities and athletes will be vying for the title, with only two spots remaining to fill out the roster.
Travis Kelce is a regular at the ACC and won the long drive contest last year. He'll look to improve on his performances of the past with his brother Jason by his side for the first time at the star-studded golf tournament in Lake Tahoe next month.
