Chiefs Star Patrick Mahomes Reveals Why He ‘can’t Be Around’ Travis Kelce For Longer Than Two Days – And Why They Can Never Play Golf Together

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce share one of the most dynamic connections on the football field, but off the field, things are a bit different. In a recent lighthearted interview, Mahomes revealed why he “can’t be around” Kelce for more than two days and explained why the two stars will never play golf together.

Mahomes, known for his cool demeanor and focused approach to the game, admitted that while he and Kelce are close friends, their personalities clash in certain situations—especially when it comes to downtime activities like golf. “Travis is one of the best teammates you could ask for, but the man is a little too competitive when it comes to certain things,” Mahomes joked. “We can hang out, have fun, but after two days, it’s like, ‘Alright, I need a break!’”

The quarterback went on to explain that Kelce’s intense, fun-loving nature is part of what makes him such an exceptional player, but it can also be overwhelming when they’re off the clock. “He’s got so much energy, and he’s always on. Whether we’re on the golf course or just hanging out, he turns everything into a competition.

The mention of golf sparked further comments from Mahomes about why the pair avoid hitting the links together. “Golf is supposed to be relaxing, right?” Mahomes said with a laugh. “But with Travis, it turns into this epic battle every time. He trash-talks the whole time, and next thing you know, we’re not even playing for fun anymore. It’s like we’re on the field again, trying to outdo each other.”

Despite the playful ribbing, Mahomes was quick to point out the mutual respect and deep bond he shares with Kelce. Their on-field chemistry is undeniable, with Kelce often being Mahomes’ go-to target in clutch situations. “We push each other to be better, and that’s what makes our relationship work so well on the field,” Mahomes explained. “But off the field, sometimes you just need a little space.

Fans of the Chiefs can rest easy knowing that the dynamic duo’s camaraderie is as strong as ever, even if their time together outside of football has its limits. The lighthearted nature of Mahomes’ comments highlights the balance that many high-level athletes must find between competition and friendship, especially when working so closely together for an extended period.

As the Chiefs prepare for another season, the connection between Mahomes and Kelce remains a key component of their success. And while they might not be teeing off together anytime soon, their bond on the gridiron is as solid as ever.
