The Kansas City Chiefs star is competing at the 8am Invitational that is organized by Justin Timberlake alongside his older brother Jason.
It is being hosted at the luxurious Wynn Las Vegas and is a charityy fundraiser, with proceeds the last three years going to the American Skin Association.
It’s the first public sighting of Kelce, 35, in a short while outside of his weekly New Heights podcast.
Earlier this week, his appearance on the show caught the eye of many Taylor Swift fans, given how much more tanned he looked compared to the week before.
Since the NFL season ended in Super Bowl defeat, Kelce and Swift have been spotted fleetingly – once after a Utah ski trip and another time going for dinner in New York.

And it has been widely reported that after being on the brink of retiring after his Super Bowl misery, Kelce now wants to focus on football ahead of what could be the final season of his sensational career.
A source was recently quoted as saying by Us Weekly: ‘Travis wants to take [a breather] from the public eye. He was working too much last year, and he didn’t play as well as he wanted.
‘He wants to have a good season and not have the focus be on his relationship with Taylor.’
Kelce is also a keen golfer, and with the NFL in the middle of its offseason he wasn’t going to miss a chance to get out onto the golf course.
Kelce took to the fairways in a bucket hat, t-shirt and shorts, while older brother Jason was wearing a bizarre hat for his round.
The Kelce brothers and Timberlake are by far the standout names competing in the event.
Other famous competitors include comedian Andrew Santino and former NFL stars Andrew Whitworth and Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Last month, Kelce was spotted playing the iconic Pinehurst course in North Carolina with Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes.

He needs his practice, as well – he and Jason are playing in a four-day celebrity tournament in Lake Tahoe in early July.
When he gets off the course on Friday, Kelce’s attention will quickly turn back to football and the ongoing NFL Draft in Green Bay.
In round one on Thursday, the Chiefs traded down a place with the Philadelphia Eagles and took offensive tackle Josh Simmons with the final pick.
The Chiefs have the 63rd pick in round two and then two more in round three – No. 66 and No. 95.
