Travis Kelce’s game could use some work.
Golf game, that is.
Kelce had an odd start to the American Century Championship on Friday when a wayward shot hit a spectator in the arm, and later drew blood after hitting a second bystander in the head, according to People.
Kelce had his second blunder of the day on the 16th hole, this time hitting a young woman in the back of the head off a drive.

The woman, who is believed to be in her early 20s, stayed down for a few minutes while paramedics assisted her, but eventually was able to stand back up.
Earlier in the day, Kelce teed off with the best of intentions but woefully missed the green on the very first shot.
After hitting the spectator, Kelce made sure he was properly taken care of with a little TLC.
The Chiefs tight end approached the spectator and shook his hand, pulling him in for a big smooch on the injury.
Kelce and his brother, Jason, who is also in the tournament, joked about the potential of hitting a spectator on last week’s episode of their New Heights podcast.
“This is my first time out in Lake Tahoe, do you have any advice?” Jason asked his brother, who previously won the tournament in 2023.
“My advice would be don’t feel bad if you hit somebody because they bought the ticket,” he joked, to which his brother immediately replied: “I don’t feel bad if I ever hit anybody.”

Kelce and his brother, Jason, who is also in the tournament, joked about the potential of hitting a spectator on their latest podcast episode.
“It’s a bunch of amateurs out there trying to play golf so don’t feel bad,” Travis continued. “People have been hit before. They got EMTs, whatever it’s called, they got right there at every hole. Everybody will be fine.”
The American Century Championship will continue through July 14, but hopefully Kelce’s tally of spectator injuries ended Friday.
