TRAVIS Kelce has hinted at a potential sporting endeavor outside of the football world in the future.
While the Kansas City Chiefs tight end has already stated that he has no intentions of leaving the NFL behind any time soon, he did recently discuss his love for other sports.

It was all kicked off on the latest episode of the New Heights podcast, which Travis co-hosts with his brother and former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason.
The duo were recording the episode at a Philadelphia-themed restaurant in London during their trip to watch Travis’ girlfriend and pop sensation Taylor Swift perform.
There Jason asked his younger brother about having recently met NHL icon Wayne Gretzky at a golf course in Tennessee.
Travis explained that he had been playing a round with LIV Golf star Dustin Johnson and his wife, and the daughter of Wayne, Pauline.
There they bumped into Wayne, rendering Travis speechless.
“The great one…I was like starstruck,” he admitted, much to Jason’s delight.
“There’s a handful that have just taken words and had me flustered and like I couldn’t even ask him anything or say what’s up…
“I’m just kind of around and I’m like, ‘Oh yeah its Father’s Day, Happy Father’s Day Wayne!’”
Travis later added that “the entire Gretzky family was awesome,” explaining that he “got to swing it a little bit” with Dustin and Pauline.
“Learned some things from DJ on my swing and started absolutely piercing fairways. So f*****g watch out boys,” he teased.
Whether or not a future career in golf awaits remains to be seen.
However, Travis has two major fairway appearances in line over the coming month.
In early July, Travis and Jason will head for the American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Edgewood Tahoe.
This won’t be Travis’ first attempt at the tournament, having gone annually since 2020.
As for Jason, this will mark his first attempt as he goes up against the likes of Davante Adams, Jerry Rice, Canelo Alvarez, Rob McElhenney, Miles Teller, and many more from across the sports and Hollywood worlds.
Elsewhere, Travis and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes were recently invited to join US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau for a round on his Break 50 YouTube series.
'Well-talked-about personal life'
Travis Kelce was asked about his relationship with Taylor Swift during an interview with Good Morning America.
But the Kansas City Chiefs tight end gave a cagey response.
“When you have good family and friends around you, it makes that aspect of life that much easier,” Kelce told GMA.
“I’ve always been a very grounded guy. It might not come off that way when I’m playing football.
“But off the field, I just want to be a genuine person. I try not to get too far down the road.
“Because you never know what opportunities are going to present themselves.”
An exact date for this has yet to be announced.
Following Travis’ revelation about his recent interaction with Wayne, he and Jason got onto the topic of the sporting greats who have managed to “make an entire country tune into their sport.”
For example, Jason cited, “Wayne Gretzky, Michael Jordan, probably eventually Caitlin Clark.”
“Like hockey was never bigger than when Wayne Gretzky was playing it. And it was ridiculous how much it grew the sport,” he added.
The two then went on to add Tiger Woods and Michael Phelps to that list, before Travis jokingly added the movie character Forest Gump – played by Tom Hanks.
