Travis Kelce received the invitation to the Golf League (TGL) from Tiger Woods earlier this week, and he moved closer to presidential blood.
The superstar Kansas City Chiefs tight end was spotted chatting with President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai, before the event that featured Woods’ Jupiter Links team taking on Bay Golf Club, according to a video by Tyler Boronski.
Kelce and his brother Jason attended the event, which included a hole-in-one by Tom Kim, helping Woods’ team reach the playoffs.

Trump was first spotted at TGL events last year, shortly before Woods and Trump’s mother, Don Jr.’s ex-wife Vanessa, went public with their relationship in March.
Kelce and the president have not yet met publicly, but Kelce was hosted by former President Joe Biden in 2023 and 2024 to celebrate back-to-back Super Bowl titles.
Woods and Vanessa Trump have kept their relationship relatively quiet — during the rocky launch last year, Woods asked for privacy regarding the couple. Vanessa and Kai attended the Genesis Invitational last month in Riviera, hosted by Woods. Vanessa was also in attendance at Monday night’s TGL event.
A report in July said the two were “very serious” and that “wedding bells” might be ringing, but nothing about that has been made public.

Woods announced his relationship with Donald Jr.’s ex-wife Trump on March 23, 2025.
“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together. Right now, we would appreciate privacy from everyone we care about,” Woods wrote in his post.
Woods’ son, Charlie, and Vanessa’s daughter, Kai, are both competitive golfers. Kai has committed to play at the University of Miami, while Charlie will attend Florida State.
Charlie and Kai played in the same tournament last June.
After his high-profile divorce from Elin Nordegren, Woods was linked to Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn in the 2010s. He was dating Erica Herman at the time he won the Masters in 2019, but they too had a very public breakup that included sexual harassment allegations and an NDA lawsuit filed by Herman. Woods and Nordegren appeared be friendly in recent years while co-parenting Charlie and Sam Woods.
