Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce made an immediate statement in round one of the American Century Championship on Friday.
During a shot on the course in Lake Tahoe, the three-time Super Bowl champion accidentally connected with a fan on the sidelines. The spectator was hit on the arm by Kelce’s errant shot. This led him to quickly comfort them with a playful kiss on the affected area and move on to play the hole.

Kelce ironically predicted this might happen while speaking with his brother Jason in a recent episode of the New Heights podcast.
“My advice would be just don’t feel bad if you hit somebody because they bought the ticket,” said Travis, jokingly ahead of the famous golf tournament.
“It’s a bunch of amateurs out there trying to play golf, so don’t feel bad,” said Travis. “People have been hit before. They got EMTs, whatever it’s called, they got right there at every hole. Everybody will be fine.”
