Travis Kelce found himself in an awkward moment after accidentally hitting a fan with a golf ball. The accident occurred at a high-profile golfing event in California, where the Chiefs star was competing.
Travis Kelce hits a woman with golf ball
Travis Kelce recently played at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am in California, where he accidentally hit a spectator with a golf ball during his last hole. After shouting “Fore,” the Kansas City Chiefs star took the final shot, which hit the woman in the crowd. The local news outlet KSBW later identified the spectator as Edenne Flinn.
Immediately after making that accidental shot, Kelce rushed to Flinn to make sure she was doing all right. A video captured by another fan at the event shows the star tight end heading over to Flinn’s golf cart, asking, “You alright?” The caption over the TikTok clip reads, “POV: Travis Kelce yells ‘FORE, ‘ but you still get hit lol.”
A concerned Kelce checked up on Flinn and made sure she wasn’t injured. According to local reports, the NFL star also signed an autograph for Flinn after ensuring that everything was alright. Following the accident, Kelce chose not to finish the hole, ending his run with a two-day total of 10-under par, which was 10 strokes short of the top score.
The incident marks the second time Kelce has accidentally hit a fan during a golfing event. The star played at the 2024 American Century Championship, where he accidentally hit a spectator at the back of the head.
The fan, Katie Hauss, later recalled the painful experience to PEOPLE. She shared that Kelce came to check up on her as soon as he found out what happened. “Travis must have walked down as I was still on the ground,” Hauss said. “I just remember seeing him come up and then I don’t remember exactly what he said, but he asked if I was ok. I could tell that he felt really badly.”
She further shared, “Travis said that he couldn’t bring himself to smile given the circumstances. I honestly felt bad for him, because I know that it was a total accident.” She added, “That can’t feel good to do that with a huge crowd looking on.”
