Chiefs TE Travis Kelce outshoots Patrick Mahomes on the golf course
The Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro duo of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce are back at it again on the golf course this weekend. The pair is set to compete in the American Century Championship for the fourth consecutive year at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in Stateline, Nevada raising money for local and national charities.
Before this weekend’s tournament, Mahomes and Kelce participated in a long-distance drive competition to see which holder could hit the furthest distance from the tee. While Mahomes put up a respectable score of 317 yards, Kelce shattered that number with an impressive 362 yards to win the Korbel Champagne long-drive competition on Thursday.

Kelce’s blast may give him a leg up heading into this weekend’s celebrity tournament, as this serves as the last offseason activity before training camp gets underway next week. Mahomes told 810 Sports Radio on Thursday that if he didn’t beat Kelce, he couldn’t go back to training camp.
