Travis Kelce found humor in an amusing moment at the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship held on July 11, 2023, at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nevada. During the event, his brother, Jason Kelce, a retired NFL star, was introduced in a light-hearted manner as a “zero-star walk-on running back.” This playful introduction elicited laughter from Travis, who is a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs.
As the crowd enjoyed the playful banter, Travis shrugged off the humorous jab from his brother and continued to support him. The event was not only a showcase for celebrity golf but also an opportunity for the Kelce brothers to express their close bond.
Brothers Share Their Unique Connection
Jason took a moment during the tournament to discuss the strong relationship he shares with Travis. “Travis and I have been close for a long time,” he stated, as reported by Starcade Media. The pair has strengthened their connection through their podcast, which allows them to communicate more frequently than before.
Reflecting on their childhood, Jason mentioned, “We loved each other growing up. We still love each other. Now it’s more like peer to peer, whereas growing up, being the older brother, it was a little bit different.” He described Travis as “my best friend on the planet,” emphasizing the importance of their weekly conversations and the closeness of their families.
Jason highlighted Travis’s role as a supportive uncle and acknowledged their efforts to balance sharing their lives online while keeping certain aspects private. “We’re a family that loves each other, we love being around each other, and it’s good to sit down and talk once a week,” he added.
