Travis Kelce Hits Fan with Golf Ball at Pebble Beach Pro-Am – Marking Yet Another On-Course Incident
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce accidentally hit a female spectator in the head with an errant golf shot on the 18th hole during the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am on Friday. It’s becoming a commonplace occurrence.
The ball hit Edenne Flinn, a resident of Salinas, California. The errant shot prompted Kelce to immediately shout “Fore!” before rushing over to check on the woman’s well-being.
Flinn, who received medical attention from tournament staff at a nearby golf cart, reassured Kelce that she was alright. He then signed an autograph for her in a gesture of apology and concern.
Visibly shaken by the mishap, Kelce chose not to complete the hole, and his team—paired with PGA Tour pro Keith Mitchell—concluded the two-round celebrity pro-am event at 10-under par, 10 strokes off the lead.

Perhaps Trav should just carry around a bunch of autographed photos in his cart during these pro-am tournaments. He sure has a habit of hitting fans.
This past summer, Kelce hit a fan with a wayward golf shot during what was described as a “boozy” celebrity golf tournament. Beer and the Kelce brothers do not mix, fam.

“One spectator found himself in Travis’s firing line – albeit through no fault of his own – as he was struck in the back of the neck by an errant shot from the Kansas City Chiefs star,” the Daily Mail reported.

Katie Hauss, a fan who was watching Kelce participate in a similar tournament in 2024, told People Magazine that what started as a nice day of watching celebrity golfing for charity turned into a nightmare when the 10-time Pro Bowler went shankopotamus on the 16th hole.
While Kelce’s golf game might lead to some snickering, Hauss’s suffering was not. She got rapped in the back of the head with the ball. Right in the coconut.
“When I got hit, I immediately felt pain,” the 37-year-old said. “I was just trying to focus on not blacking out, and at that point I didn’t really know what had happened.”
“I then heard people start yelling and screaming that it was Travis Kelce’s golf shot, and ‘Oh my god, that girl just got hit in the head.’”
Despite bleeding from the back of her noggin, Hauss similarly grabbed a picture with Kelce for the trouble. The photo shows Kelce looking pretty sheepish.
