Travis Kelce ‘BLOODIES spectator in celebrity golf tournament after accidentally shanking a tee shot off a woman’s head’
Travis Kelce’s first round of the 2024 American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament proved to be about as dangerous as professional football.
The Kensas City Chiefs star shanked several shots into the Lake Tahoe crowd, one of which left a 20-something woman bloodied and in need of medical attention, according to people. Footage of the incident has not surfaced online.
Taylor Swift’s boyfriend was on the 16th hole at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course when his drive struck the woman in the back of her head. One eyewitness told People that streaks of blood could be seen in her blonde hair.
Kelce did make the long walk into the crowd to check on her, and later joked that taking a picture with the woman was the least he could do. His brother and tournament rival, Jason, also checked on the woman, who reportedly said she was unsure which of the two Kelce brothers actually hit the errant shot.
Paramedics rushed to the scene to treat the woman, who remains unidentified. She was ultimately able to stand on her own after several minutes of sitting on the ground. Staff transported her off the course and play quickly resumed.
Kelce ended his first round tied with legendary pitcher Roger Clemens and SNL alum Colin Jost in 62nd place, which is a major departure from 2023 when he won the tournament.
Interestingly, Travis offered Jason some prescient advice on the event during a recent podcast episode.’This is my first time out in Lake Tahoe, do you have any advice?’ Jason asked Travis on an episode of New Heights.’My advice would be don’t feel bad if you hit somebody because they bought the ticket,’ Travis joked.
