Jason Kelce appeared at the 2026 [1] ACC Golf Championship in South Lake Tahoe, California, this week.
The appearance marks the first time the former NFL center has been seen in public since his brother Travis Kelce married Taylor Swift. The high-profile wedding took place at Madison Square Garden in New York, where Jason served as the best man.
Kelce was photographed on the golf course less than a week after the wedding festivities concluded. The sighting in South Lake Tahoe follows a period of relative privacy for the athlete after the media attention surrounding the nuptials.
Jason had previously expressed his desire to play a central role in the ceremony. "I hope I'm the best man," Kelce said.
By serving as the best man for Travis, Jason returned a favor from eight years ago when Travis served in the same role for his brother's wedding. The siblings' public relationship has long been a point of interest for sports and entertainment followers, particularly as the family expanded its reach into the global spotlight through the marriage to Swift.
The 2026 [1] championship provided the backdrop for Kelce's return to the public eye, shifting the focus from the celebratory atmosphere of New York to the athletic environment of California.
“"I hope I'm the best man."”
The transition of Jason Kelce from a high-profile wedding role back to a leisure activity like golf signals a return to normalcy for the family. Given the global celebrity status of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, the public scrutiny of the family's movements remains high, making even a routine golf outing a noted event.
