Travis Kelce Hits Fan With Golf Ball At American Century Championship

At the 2024 American Century Championship held at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course, NFL star Travis Kelce was involved in multiple incidents where his errant golf shots struck spectators, including a notable case where he hit a fan, Katie Hauss, in the head, causing bleeding and a mild concussion. Kelce responded promptly and kindly, staying with the injured woman until medical help arrived, and later posed for photos and signed autographs to make amends, actions that were appreciated by the fan and spectators. The event was characterized by a party-like atmosphere, with Kelce, his brother Jason, and other celebrities engaging in beer chugging contests, dancing, and football tosses on the course, which contributed to the chaotic golfing conditions. Despite the incidents, the injured fans appeared to take the accidents in good humor, and Kelce's concern and efforts to ensure their well-being were widely noted. This was not Kelce's first controversial moment on the golf course, as previous errant shots had also endangered spectators, reflecting a pattern of unpredictable play amid the relaxed, festive setting. The tournament continued with notable athletes and celebrities, maintaining its status as a high-profile celebrity golf event despite the disruptions caused by Kelce and his companions.
