“Travis Kelce is one of the most accomplished and recognizable athletes of his generation,” Eisenberg said. “His championship pedigree, competitive mindset, and star power make him a tremendous addition to the Annexus Pro-Am and an exciting presence for our fans during tournament week.”
A cornerstone of the Kansas City Chiefs, Kelce is a three-time Super Bowl champion and widely regarded as one of the greatest tight ends in NFL history. Over the course of his career, he has earned multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections while redefining the tight end position with consistent production and postseason success.
Kelce holds numerous NFL records at the tight end position, including the most 1,000-yard receiving seasons by a tight end, and has played a central role in the Chiefs’ sustained dominance over the past decade. Known for his leadership, competitive edge, and ability to perform on the biggest stages, he remains one of the league’s most influential players.
Beyond football, Kelce is active in media and philanthropy and continues to expand his impact off the field. His participation in the Annexus Pro-Am adds star power and championship perspective to tournament week, giving fans a chance to see one of the NFL’s most recognizable figures take part in one of the WM Phoenix Open’s most popular experiences.
Other celebs currently in the Annexus Pro-Am field include Larry Fitzgerald, Carli Lloyd, Emmitt Smith, Trey McBride, Budda Baker and Zaven Collins. More announcements to come as celebrities and athletes are confirmed.
